Sometimes I can be like a parrot and just spew nonsense that I think is funny, it happens without me thinking a lot. Most of them come from TV shows or stupid Youtube videos. One such phrase is from a skit with my favorite comedian.

"I'm a love albatross!" and "Righty dokie skip!" (Ade Edmonson as Eddie in Bottom)

Hrm... let's see... about men who are handsome but lacking in the most important way
"He may be easy on the eyes, but damn, he's as dumb as a stick."

Dumb as a box of rocks (another teacher uses that one)

Not the brightest crayon in the box (art teacher)

Usually any That 70's shows lines like "Eric, you don't have bad luck son, you're just a dumbass. (I tend to say dumbass quite frequently.

Oh, and my typical line after a friend or a kid said something really really stupid, and they know they said somehting stupid ... "LEAN IN..." and they know what comes next... ME, slapping them upside the head for their stupidity, lol. Never hard, but they know, and I'll get soem who say "Come on, you know what you have to do now!"

It's fun!

My boss' favorite one is "the devil is in the details." We hear this almost every time there is an office meeting.

[RICHARD]

I really wish I could take credit for this one.

I was in the produce department of the supermarket and there was a woman with two kidsr. They were not misbehaving or acting up.......

She was trying to get their attention so she could move on so she says playfully to them. "Come on, Children of the Corn!"

COTC was a short story and later a movie from Stephen King-it was about a town where evil children were in charge and would kill adults that came into town or anyone of their group that turned 18.

----------
I looked at her and started to laugh...she saw me and got embarrassed....she began to apologize and I told her that it was O.K. I just never had heard anyone call their kids that.

Now when I see any kids acting badly I whisper under my breath.....Children of the Corn!!
