    This is from my mom - I only wish I had listened to her when I was younger...


    If you can't be good, be careful.

    These are not the droids you were looking for

    *You don't have to be a weather man to know which way the wind is blowing.*

    Best when said to someone who tries to intimidate you by his *expertise*.

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

    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!!

    "Bananas - imported."

    My boss has some very uhhh colorful sayings lol...most of which I've only heard her say. The only one I can think of right now is "They ain't got the brains God gave a bent screwdriver!" Has anyone else heard that before?

    I like the saying (well, it goes something like this, can't remember it exactly) "Going to church doesn't make you a christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car."

    Another one she often says (when somebody asks when something will be done) is "The second Tuesday of next week." If somebody asks if she's busy she'll say "Busier than a cat covering up s**t." Those aren't even the really "colorful" ones, but those are all I can think of right now. I'm not sure I've ever talked to anyone with as many sayings as she has, I don't know how she comes up with them all.

    If my mum catches someone talking about something and doesn't specify who "we" is she will reply...
    "Who's we? Ya have a turd in your pocket?"


    Also...


    "I'm so hungry I could eat the paint off the walls."
    I am always hungry, so I use this plenty. :-)
