"All we need is a bigger hammer!"

I can't shake this jingle out of my head - playing currently on TV - the visual is of a fishing boat being restored & chartered:
"It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it" (repeat 3 times)
"that's what creates success"

My great uncle used to say: "In the U.P. we get nine months of winter
and three months of bad sledding."
The older I get the more right he seems about that.
A mechanic I worked for while in college used to say,
"Don't force it just get a bigger hammer."
Guys at the old Second Chance Bowling Pin Shoot often said,
"You can't miss fast enough to win."
That is definitely true. I have tried missing real fast several times with
poor results.

From my old boss

From a co worker

My granddaddy, Herman the German, used to tell me "You're strong as a horse and damn near as smart!"
Like my dear Gramma used to say, "A fartin' horse'll never tire, and a fartin' man's the man to hire".

Complaining about a lawyer who was impeding a business transaction, my old boss referred to him as, "a guy who couldn't get a deal done with a hundred dollar bill in a whore house."

Me,"Dad, you're so pessimistic."
Dad, "Optomists are often disappointed. Pessimists are sometimes pleasantly surprised."
On "if only": If only frogs had wings, they wouldn't bump their butts while hoppin." also Dad.
Yet another Dadism: Careful, that's slicker than greased owl *****.
And one from a buddy of mine currently doing time, Rooster:
French fries are good for ya'. It's gots potatos in it.
