My two favorite sayings came from nmy dad. When it would be raining outside, I'd say "look at that rain come down!", my dad would say, "did you ever see it go up?!" Another one is if he be watching Miss America with me and a beautiful girl would come on, he'd say " what that girl doesn't have, she doesn't need!".

"Well, you better fix it!

The cause of the plane crash is under investigation.
"Gravity, maybe?"

Oh ok, now I get it. You were looking for snappy comebacks when you started this thread, huh? I thought you were looking for memorable quotes such as "a penny saved is a penny earned", that sort of thing. If it's a snappy comeback that you're looking for, well, someone once told my dad that I was beautiful and he asked Dad "Is she spoiled?" and Dad was all too quick w/the answer "No, she always smells that way".

From Mom: Don't let the weather change your plans.
From a former co-worker: Better the devil you know.
From my sister-in-law: Do the hardest thing first and then the rest will be easy.

"Bob's your uncle."
"Just click here and then click there and voila, Bob's your uncle!"

"Bob's you Uncle."

I am not going to google this....I am afraid.
