IH fan said: (quoted from post at 21:59:25 01/01/13) "Worthless as t!ts on a boar hog" However, dad always said they weren't totally worthless as they determined how many his offspring gilts would have.
An old timer Dad worked with as a carpenter when they hired kids to help with roofing, etc., always said "You got one boy, you got one boy, you got 2 boys, you got half a boy, you got 3 boys, you got no boys." I think Benny was a smart old guy.
Grandma Naden used that "boys" saying a lot.
Other bits of wisdom she used;
"An empty wagon rattles the most"
"Always watch how a man treats his mother for that is how he will treat you."
"Pretty is as pretty does"
One I got from my wife's paternal Grandfather;
"Dumb Sumbitch couldn't pour pi$$ out of a boot with a hole in the toe and directions on the heel"
A couple from Grandpa Naden;
"Growing old is no excuse for growing up"
"Take care of the pennies, nickles and dimes and the dollars will take of themselves"
