My father used to say

[El_Kabong]

"believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see."
&
"askin's for free."

one day I asked a man how much the old mustang was in his driveway, he said $450 & so i bought it; 2 weeks later after some cleaning inside & out i sold it for $3500. always ask or you've lost an opportunity and don't wait for opportunity to come knocking, i had to go up to that guys door to ask about the mustang or it never would have happened.

 

[strawbrrygirl]

[strawbrrygirl]

"WHERES MY" fishin, huntin, tools i allways lost or broke it!! "dont be such a bull" that means dont break my stuff!!

 

[Young Pumpkin]

One more I heard a lot, "Boy, where are my tools?" or wrench, or handsaw, etc.

[kmk420kali]

Not to go off-topic, but here is one that my son who lives with me,(26) would say about me!!
"Go do _______...and you can stay another night!!"

 

[Dethclock]

"Son,a funny thing about regret is that it's better to regret something you HAVE done than to regret something you HAVEN'T done......& if you see your mom this weekend,be sure & tell her-SATAN!SATAN!SATAN!"

 

[Hank Hemp]

Here's by old man-ask me I want to be when I get out of school? I tell him a Pilot in the Air Force. So the SOB says I'll get you a pitchfork and take you to the racetrack because shit is the only thing you'll ever pilot. My old man.

 

[TrichyTrichy]

always be kind.

 

[ADDERALL]

"you dont have to like your mother, but you do have to respect her"

my dad's best friend told me this when i was 16 years old... he died shortly after and it really stuck with me

 

[Lean Green]

The only advice my old man has ever given me is "slow down son" it has paid off one hundred fold for me.

ADDERALL- that's a name I know well. I used to move that stuff by the box full. Lol, other stuff too. That also leads back to my fathers advice " slow down son"

 

[trouble]

Here are a few of my fathers quotes that I shall always remember:


(1) "You boys are bloody difficult!" my brothers & I heard that one often.

(2) "Son, as you continue to reach new heights of chaos & destruction, it's become obvious to your mother & I, that you lack that inate refinement which allows one to be entertained by a simple life."

(3) " Son, your actions could serve as a field manual on the art of irresponsibility"

(4) 'Son, if you continue conducting yourself in that manner, not even your friends will come near you unless they have a string of garlic tied around there neck & a crucifix in hand."

(5) "You can't help another person up the hill without getting a little closer yourself"

(6) My father is a large man 6'4" 290lbs.+, he has always been on the heavy side, and on a diet for the past 50+ years that I know of.

This past year at 76 he finally lost 30 pounds by diet & exercise, and just the other day he said something I found funny. He said, "When your young and lose weight everyone says, "Wow, you look great!" and when your old and lose weight everyone says,'"Are you sick?"

 

[RoachClip]

I just tell my gf's sons ( if you catch it go see a Dr. and get rid of it ) got that from the Movie " The Jerk " with Steve Martin.

 

[Merrywanna]

My dad told me many funny things but 2 really stick out.
1."Everyone likes a little ass but no one likes a smart ass."
2. "The problem with girls is they take what you poke at them in fun seriously."

 

[Lone Wolf]

"tell me who your with and ill tell you who you are!"

 

[cannadelic]

believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see

 

[OldPork]

Well boy it sounds to me like they got you by the short hairs

 

[KSP]

If someone lies, they will also cheat and steal.

He later went on to do all three to me, proving his point.

 

[HippyJohnny]

My dad said L8tr to my mom and never said anything to me.

Never met the dude.
