    Get the lead out of yer ###!

    You can want in one hand, #### in the other. And see which one fills up first!

    The list goes on and on. A few I can’t share here.

    From my dad...I’ll give him credit, but they probably were told to him as well.

    If you don’t have time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it a second time?

    Waiting for something you want is ok. Most people spend their whole lives waiting for nothing.

    If you’re going to hit someone. Hit them hard. No sense in fighting when you can just knock them out.

    If you know where I’m at, and you lie to your mother to protect me when she asks you I will wire your mouth shut. (About going surfing.)

    If someone bets you $5 that a beautiful woman is going to come over and pour beer in your ear, you can be #### sure you’re going to have beer in your ear.

    Why buy 1 when you can buy 2 at twice the price.

    The best cars will be designed by the Italians, built by the Germans, but they’d have an American electrical system.

    Location and perspective is everything. The Space shuttle looks like to takes off slow on TV. When your at the Cape it jumps off the launch pad like a scared cat.
