"As busy as a one-armed paper hanger." I like that one.

"As nervous as a bag of wet squirrels."

Found a button that a friend gave me back when we worked together at the local weekly newspaper. under crazy deadline with crazy (usually in a good way) bosses:

"Only by attempting the impossible can we achieve the absurd!"

and we also had another that said

"What doesn't kill me makes me stronger"

This one I will never figure out.


Ambulance Entrance.

They park outside, the patient goes in but the ambulance stays outdoors!

Soo... I was a little slow on the jokes last night, and my cousin told me that my hamster was going a little slow in my head... Well Jon piped in, and said, "Yeah, your hamsters ACTUALLY having an identity crisis, it thinks its a turtle."

Okay. Stupid, I know, but it made us all laugh reaaaaaally hard, cuz then they started calling my "hamster" a "hamstertle".

I can't think of anything else incredibly witty right now... maybe later, lol.

ME: I'm about two second away from going crazy.
Dustin: It's not that far of a trip for you, babe.

It made me laugh at the time.

I just have to put this here because it has had me giggling for days now. I rented Underdog this weekend. "There's no need to worry, Underdog is furry." LOlolololololol. Ha, sorry.

Yea, and I may turn green, grow feathers and learn to fly, but I doubt it!

Get off that phone. You're not THAT important!!! ( one I used to yell at people using cell phones while driving ) (I'd still yell it if I was still driving)

If my mum catches someone talking about something and doesn't specify who "we" is she will reply...

My dad's favorite was 'Hijo de la guayaba'!

translated? Son of a guayaba-which is a tree fruit.

And "son of a boliche', said with a thick Mex accent!
"Son of bowling!"

I don't like the saying,
"It is what it is"....ugh!

[captain]

Yes, my Dad always had a few -

"He/She couldn't organise a _ _ _ _ in a brothel with $50"

I am a trainer in IT, and if someone is a smarty pants and says things like "Can I give you a tip" - I usually reply "Let me give you one, Race number 2, Horse number 5".

Or

"Don't Pee into the wind" (I LOVE that one!!)

"One sandwich short of a picnic"

......... great thread!!!

Hey YOU!

That reminded me my personal favorite - If I go out to eat and the service is good, I leave a larger gratuity-if the server has a sense of humor - I tell them that I'll give them a tip for their tip.....

Then I whisper to them, "Don't bet on the (insert the local sports team name)."

-------------

My other favorite for a restaurant is when the server comes over and asks if I want a box for the leftovers.(The square styrofoam containters for take out food.)

I always say, "Box for it? No, but if you want to wrestle for it, let's go!"

That one came out of the blue one day and it works when you have diners within earshot!

"As busy as a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest"

"Dumb as a box of doorknobs (or hammers)".

"Go P!ss up a rope."
