Along with the "I'll give you something to cry about", my dad had a few good ones when my two brothers and I were growing up.
Anything said that began with "Hey," dad would always say "Hay? Straw is cheaper, grass is free...dontcha wish you were a cow?"
Whenever one of us asked where he/we were going, he'd always say "Elephant hunting"....that would shut us up for a few minutes while we pondered the idea.
