I aim to make it the best time they can have, working harder to a higher standard than they think they can.

When they say "I/we can't..." I either tell them "You can't...YET" or just wink and say "Aren't you glad I don't believe that?"

yesterday I knew I'd have no control. I was digging around in the office and somehow...a strip of scotch tape ended up on the front of me in the worst of spots. So I used another one of my favorite sayings:

"No, this isn't awkward, no not at all."


I forgot another one we all like to say at my house:

"Cut the lace off your panties and get to work" Especially effective when addressing men.
 
1. I don't know and I don't care!
2. Any day that I wake up alive, is going to be a great day!
3. Were you born that stupid or did you take lessons!
4. Did you upset me? Are you still alive?
5. Spare only the children and dogs cause I like children and dogs!
6. Riot? takes only one man with a machine gun or flamethrower to end one!
7. If everything is better up north, why are you here?
8. Return home and retreve your manners!
9. You should be used as a mine detector!
10. Are you from ------ or did a mule kick you in the face?
11. How do you walk straight with your head up you butt?
 
"I didn't do it, and anybody who says different is a ******* liar."

"I could hardly fail to disagree with you less."

"No, but if you hum a few bars, I can fake it."

"You don't have to kill 'em all; just identify a ringleader and make an example of him."

"You wouldn't be happy if they hung you with a new rope."

"You can be the husband, or you can be the wife."

"Turn that cap around. I can't tell you why. Have your daddy call me so I can explain it to him."

"karmic prophylaxis"

"lapsed Unitarian"

"The expression that comes to mind is..."

"Abortions should be legal, only after the fetus is 21 years old. You can make a better assessment then."
And when someone backs out of something planned:
"That's okay, I have to take a **** anyway."

How the hell did you get "abortions" past the filter:eek:
 
I have a few regular's.
The first is based on the fact that I recondition vintage drums.

People get old drums, or kits that have been drilled on, recovered,
etc. and still think it's worth a ton of money or want me to explain how
it might be a Factory "one-off" kind of deal.

They don't like it when I say.

"It is what it is."
My friends at the Drum Shop got me a shirt that says this,
which should tell you how many times I've used it.

Another I use, when reffering to myself as well.........
It's an I.O. Problem, which, in this case means, "Idiot Operator."

The next one is short.

When asked, "Who should we contact in case of an emergency?"
I usually say, "A Doctor," but "The Police" can also be used for full effect.
 
Two of my favorites at work are:

"There is a difference between doing something right and right now. Which do you want?"

and

"Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part"
 
"Don't burn bridges"

"Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we choose to decieve"
 
When someone says or does something dumb or otherwise ill advised, I always say "You're wiring's loose, partner."
 
Sir, one of my favorite phrases for planning meetings is, "Well, we can burn that bridge when we get to it." Very few people catch it.

Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.

Phrases

Two of mine are "Theres never enought time to do it right but theres plenty of time to do it over" and my all time favorite "better people than you have tried to financialy sodmize me and not been able to". Jeff
 
Regular reply to "How are you" - Above ground and breathing

When folks don't like "It is what it is" I'll add " Put a K in the front of it and you have a type of bird, a fruit and a shoe polish"

"He's a legend in his own mind"

"Whenever there is any doubt there is no doubt"

"If you got the money, we can do it"

Once or twice in my younger days I said "You need to call an ambulance and the police. I don't care which one I leave in, but, you will remember this day for the rest of your life".

"You can have it fast and cheap or you can have it good and get quality."

Welcome to the party Pal! - when someone is complaining about how stupid something is and I completely agree

Charming or oh thats ****ing charming - when someone is talking about something disgusting or not exactly plesant that I dont want to hear about

Move your a** sonny! - when some idiot is driving 30 on a clear stretch of road where everyone else does 35 or 40 on average as I really hate it when someone slows me down as I cant stand not making a good pace while driving and I really hate waiting because of someone elses stupidty, its a pet peve of mine

any day above ground is a good day - something I say when it seems like its a 50/50 kinda day and have had a few things screw up on me or the day feels rotten

if you gotta put the time in might as well do it right as theres no sense in doing it wrong. - self explanditory


Cheers or in response to have a good day from a clerk or something, you too or atleast try to

When asked How are you? I usually reply: Just another day in Paradise.
Or It's to early to tell, a lot can go wrong between now and the end of the day.

I have a 14 year old who is just like me.
What in the world possesed you to do that?
I'm not angry with you, and I am not suprised either. When I was your age I did the same thing. How can I be angry with you for doing what I did at your age.
This is how we learn it's called gaining experience. Just try not to do it again.
If you think your friend is doing something stupid or illegal then don't do it yourself!
Ones my Dad used frequently: You and your brother are an amazing combination. His stupid ideas and your ability to make them happen.
If it's not broke don't fix it!
Purt near but no cigar.
Think, your brain is not a spacer to keep your ears apart.
