when I was a kid and us kids would get too close, my mom always used to say "Move over, I am not your PLP" and when we would ask what's a PLP she would say "Private Leaning Post"
Don't know that it's humorous funny, maybe strange funny.....anyway your "goin' crazy" remark was another one she used to use....
You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands - You shall be happy and it shall be well with you. -Psalm 128.2

You can put your boots in the oven, but that don't make 'em biscuits.

| My son-in-law just worked on my neighbors car and she asked what she should do now and he replied "drive it like you stole it." She thought that was funny. a dear friend of mine used to say when asked how are you --'fine as frog hair' or 'happy as a clam at high tide'. |

My grandmother has alot of funny sayings. But there is 2 that always get me. One is when she is running to the bathroom she will say, "I gotta go, I cant hold my liquor"
And the other one is when something doesn't go right she says, "now ain't that the squirts"
LOL! Those just crack me up everytime. She is 85 and it makes it even funnier because you don't expect her to say that.

"I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck!"
"It's not big enough to swing a cat in here"!
"Did you plan on being that stupid or did it just come to you naturally?"
"What is taking you so long? Are you waiting for an engraved invitation?"
"When pigs fly..."
If you give a man a fish, he can eat. If you teach a man to fish...he won't be at work tomorrow!
In response to "How are you doing?"
"Hell has frozen over and I believe I have fallen through the ice!"
with a happy heart |

my first hubby would say must have a twin on one person could be that stupid. haha!! he had some funnys too. jumpen like a cat on a hot tin roof. and if my dad didn't like the music he'd say that sounds like a skeloton dancing on a tin roof. another one was, two kernels shot a cob, or three bricks shy of a load. don't know where they all come from honestly. sawdust between your ears was another one i heard, and use your head for more then a hat rack! lol, jo~

| My mother used to say "'Mean to' don't pick no cotton." She was from the South. Also, "Uglier than a mud fence," "Had a face like a shovel," "they get along like peas in a pod." My daughter's one to say stuff in reference to pretty girls in her college town like "You can't swing a dead cat and not hit one." |

Brenda, your daughters are lucky! You'll have them thinking.
Another that's used a lot around here is references to getting hit with a stick. Like "He got hit with the Ugly Stick" or "She got hit with the Cancer Stick." |

It's funny that all over this country of ours we have basically the same sayings. They must go back to Adam. My uncle used to say when we would pester him about things..
Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies,
Keep you mouth shut and you'll catch no flies.
Life may not be the party we hoped for...but while we are here we might as well dance! |

My mom was full of funny sayings that came down from her farm family. Here are a couple:
You are smarter than you look. That is a darn good thing.
I would say to her "Mom, I want.....(something too expensive) and she would smile and say "People in hell want ice water, too."
Oddly, I never said either one of these to my daughter!

"I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole". (Avoiding a topic)
"I'll have to stir that pot with a long handled spoon". (think it over with some distance between you and "it".
"Five men and a mule COULD get it done but all it needs is one woman tellin' the man what needs doing!" (Southern Gran...)
with a happy heart |

LETS SEE.
There was--- sometimes purt-en- near is good enough.
Then there was- Grandma, am I pretty? If you act as good as you look you will be ok.
The most important of all was when things were not going right or etc. etc. Grandma always said , WELL, NEVER MIND. and THAT TO THIS DAY HAS MADE ME NOT TAKE EVERY LITTLE THING SO SERIOUSLY.

1) A really mean person was said to be "weaned on a pickle"
2) As nervous as a cat under a rockin chair
3) My Grandpa would always say, "Don't monkey with that", meaning to stop messin with something.
4) If someone had bucked teeth, my Grandpa would say, "He could eat corn on the cob through a picket fence"!!!
I'm sure I'll have lots more to post later.
--
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am. |

My grandfather always says, to the person who is blocking his view of the TV, "You make a better door than a window."
And to the one who is practicing an instrument, "Do you know how to play that song 'Far, Far Away'?"
My husband's family used to say of overly generous person "He would give away his a**hole and sh*t through his ribs." |
