My dad had a million and one funny sayings. He frequently said things like, "Tomorrow, if I don't wake up dead, I'll meet for breakfast." or "One of these days, when I wake up dead ..." He never swore, at all, the harshest thing out of his mouth was "Dad Burn It!"
After he passed away, my mom, sister and I were at the funeral home, picking out his head stone. The manager asked if we wanted anything written on the head stone. I said, "How about, "Dad Burn It! I TOLD ya'll I was gonna wake up dead one of these days!" We all just burst out laughing. And I'm positive my dad was right there with us, cracking up, too.
No head stone for me, either.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
