Tis better to have loved a short girl than never to have loved a tall.

Ok, this one is a crude one. Ladies, turn your eyes. My buddy, is vertically challenged, so when he sees a tall lady he'll usually say, "Man, Shane, nose to nose your toes would be in it and toes to toes your nose would be in it."

"We do not strive for perfection, because perfection is the destination, imperfection is the journey." -Derek Smalls (Spinal Tap)
 
"Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from." -Al Franken

"Wisdom doesn't automatically come with old age. Nothing does - except wrinkles. It's true, some wines improve with age. But only if the grapes were good in the first place." -Abigail Van Buren
 
Never tell a man everything you know, and don't trust them as far as you can throw them. ~Grandma

Don't look for a gifted child, look for the gift in each child.

Nothing else in nature behaves so consistently and rigidly as a human being in pursuit of hell.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

Thanks Idjit. Really like the 3rd one. My Grandmother had one similar to your first one except she said, "Don't trust them as far as you can throw a bull by the tail."

Good stuff

One that my Grandpa taught that I still live by (a little too hard according to my wife) is:

"Nothing in life is for free and everything has a string attached to it."

This was his way of telling me don't let anyone do stuff for you cause they'll come back and ask something of you.
 
That thang's big enough to stand flat-footed and f*** a turkey! ~Appalachian coworker, in regard to a cockroach found in the ladies room.
