Shot him in the butthole
Didn't hit a hair.

I told that during 1st grade show and tell.

My father used to say that one, also. My uncles, too.

It's strange reading this thread. There are probably a dozen "sayings" I recall from my childhood. They must be Midwestern sayings, I guess.

See if you recognize this one ... whenever I was injured or hurt on the job, in an effort to motivate me, my Dad would say, "It's too far from your heart to kill you."

My dad used to always tell me " Boy you'd fug up a crowbar in a sandbox"

Mom would say "Chit in one hand and wish in the other and tell me which one fills up first"

Grandpa: "Treat the Whores like Queens and the Queens like Whores!"

Believe half of what you see, and nothing of what you hear.

Whenever my Grandpa used to send me to the shed or garage for a tool or whatever, when I got back he'd say "If they're ever gonna hang me, I hope they send you for the rope".

There have been a lot of tear up ones in here.

Dad's was, "you could break an anvil with a rubber mallet"

I was one of those kids, too.


I broke the hitch on the sweeps while fertilizing once.

My brother (not too long ago) closed the grain cart auger while it was running.

That happens when you are the only one that can fix the ****-ups.


I learned that really quickly when I started my wood floor business.


On a side note, I think the auger on our old 300 bushel grain cart had more welding rod in it than origninal metal. 7th gear over sprinkler tracks doesn't mix for very long.

Grandpa when irritated and/or disgusted,"Great day in the morning!!"

Dad to me and lil bro,"why don't you kids go play on the train tracks."
