DON'T EAT YELLOW SNOW |
Re: Wise Sayings..?
One of the things that my grandmother used to taunt me with when I was sulking - I sulked a lot as a child - was "Oooo, look at that lip. You could hang a jug on it!" The mental image of walking around with a blue and white striped jug hanging off my face always cheered me up and made me laugh. How do grandmothers always know the right thing to say?

The other one is ''if the wind changes your face will stick like that'' that used to terrify the living daylights out of me. |
Re: Wise Sayings..?
Another one of our Mum's sayings when we were sulking was "Put your bl**dy face straight"
:confused: She still has never told us how this is done ? |
Re: Wise Sayings..?
what about "if the wind changes direction you're face will stay like that"?
thanks mum, look at me now. |
Re: Wise Sayings..?
Another one that always got me thinking was "do you want a bloody good hooker?"(Drop the aspirant and flatten the vowels)
My reply was always no, but I often wondered what the response would have been had I said "Yes please" |

My reply was always no, but I often wondered what the response would have been had I said "Yes please" absolute quality i can't type for laughing. where would you get one from anyway? more to the point i'd be worried if my mum knew the answer. |

Re: Wise Sayings..?
What about "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones". Do you know anyone who lives in a glass house? I don't. And why should such an injunction against aggressive anti-social behaviour only apply to them and not to the rest of us?

Re: Wise Sayings..?
what about "too many cooks spoil the broth" then we have "many hands make light work"
it's all very confusing and conterdictory. |
Re: Wise Sayings..?
Or there is my all time favourite. This one from my grandad "Tha can allus trust a man as tucks his shirt inside his underpants." I'm not even going to attempt to deconstruct that one!
