From time to time, folks on this forum post interesting adages and comments.

A medical doctor, now retired, has been a water skiing and deer hunting buddy of mine for 40 years. Once when a question about the female species came up in conversation, his comment was a classic:

"I just fix 'em, I don't try to explain 'em".

Does anyone else know any good ones?

How about "if the women don't find you handsome,they should at least find you handy". Does that work?

I think it was Nebraska Cowman who posted this years ago-

"If a guy stiffs you for 20 bucks and you never see him again, it was probably worth it."

Funny part is, a guy I know DID stiff me for exactly that, 20 bucks, and if I never see him again, I will be thrilled.

Not very good, but when I was little I complained about something on my hands, don't even remember what it was. Dad said "if you're hands get dirty, wash 'em". Thought that was stupid. I heard myself say the very same thing to one of my girls this year. Dangit.

Ninety eight percent of all attorneys give the rest a bad name.

The latest survey shows that three out of four people make up 75% of the population.

Chris Jones · Jan 27, 2013

My mom said (I know the saying predates her), "Everyone is a little queer except me and thee, and sometimes thee seems a little queer to me".

My grandpa said, "Hard work ain't easy and dry bread ain't greasy". Greasy bread? Never quite got that but the saying kinda stuck with me anyway.

think that originally came from Ben Franklin and was stated "If yo loan a friend $20 and never hear from him again, consider it a good investment." Of course that was from a time when $20 was the equivalent of several hundred today.
