OT- Common Sense

From today"s Beverly Hillbillies- who was told that if he got all that book learnin", there wouldn"t be any room in his brain for common sense?
 
My dear departed MIL used to ask......only partly in jest........"If you're so damn smart, how come you're not rich?"
 
That's pretty good. Never heard that one before. I'll use it though, even if I don't credit you or the Hillbillies with it.

I liked it when Mr Drysdale showed them a coin collection and said that a particular dime was worth $1000. Jed said "If I put it in a candy machine,would I get $1000 worth of candy?" Now that's common sense if you ask me.
 
I had a boss one time who used to tell the inbreds that if he had time he would knock some sense in their heads but it would take too long to beat the stupid out.
 
Had a fella just the other day trying to impress me by telling me how good looking he was. I replied "Some were born good looking and others were born rich." Clamped his jaws shut pretty fast, even though I was born "church mouse poor"
 
My old buddy Nick the pipefitter could always end any discussion. He would reach in his wallet, grab hold of his paycheck, say "put your money where your mouth is, my check for yours." Never saw him lose. Never saw so many people that didn't believe what they were talking about either. Always got REAL quiet.
 
I had a boss once that liked to tell people "If you want to do it the way you did 15 years ago, go ahead. And I'll pay you what you made 15 years ago as well." Things would either get very loud or very quiet after that statement also.
