I always thought it was "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"

And I was always taught : Can't find em; grind em.
Didn't put that on my first job app. for a driving job.
After the first few years the grinding stopped.
Or I got a better radio.
Once you figure out engine speed to shift points it's just a clunk.

The bigger the truck; the easier it is.

From Dad, "Don't bite your nose to spite your face"....From Mom, regarding excuses beginning with "If", "If the dog didn't stop to have a crap, he would have caught the rabbit"....

Instead of my mother giving me the wooden spoon I'd get hit with the rubber sputula.....this worked until the day I started laughing at her as she was doing it..........that was last week

My dad when he was heading out the door to go have a few with the boys. Where are you going........"Going to see a man about a horse"...

Dredging up the painful memories of my childhood.

I actually got the "because I said so" answer from the systems administrator/I.T. person in my last job.

Those two were in cahoots with one another.

When you piled huge piles of food on your plate and couldn't finish it, my Dad would say -

your eyes were bigger than your stomach.

[Rockfish9]

I can remember my father on more than one occasion saying "a good run is better than a bad stand" it took a bloody nose and a black eye to realize it didnt apply to just fishing in a lightning storm!

[justplugit]

wise guy- "needs his ears pinned back"

haircut-- "ya had your ears lowered"

Karl, I put lima beans in an envelope addressed "China" when I was a kid. Mom was not amused. I guess I shoulda been thinking of kids in West Virginia....

"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink"

[Bob Senior]

You reminded me of my father saying, "You can lead a horse to water...," pause with a grin and then, "but if you can't make him roll over and float, ya got nothin!"

When my brother or I would complain that the steak was tough, my father would always respond, "It's tougher where there's none!"

Mother: "You look like death warmed over!"

Mother: "You can't turn a sow's ear into a silk purse," as someone said earlier.

Mother: "You kids'll be the death of me yet!"

Our town had a lady bus driver who was bow-legged. My father must have said a million times, "she's not bowlegged, she's pleasure-bent."

My father always called underarm deoderant, "Marine shower."

Any difficult task was, "... like pushing a boulder uphill."
