I thought I'd start a new thread that's a little off topic - but philisophically applicable I guess to the work we all do on our trucks and our exchanges here.

I've noticed when folks are helping one another, there have been some pretty good syings that folks have thrown in just to quip a thought.

For example, (and If I miss quote - please forgive) One member threw out a woodshop teachers saying:

"No matter how many times I cut the board, it's still too short."

Another one:

"btw: Speaking of Germans, you do know the difference between heaven and hell doncha?

In heaven: The British are the police, the French are the chefs, the Germans are the mechanics, the Italians are the lovers, and the whole shebang is run by the Swiss.

In hell: The British are the chefs, the French are the mechanics, the Germans are the police, the Swiss are the lovers, and the whole she bang is run by the Italians." <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

And the one that impressed me today:

"1: Price, Quality, Service. Pick any two. 2: Around here, we spend so much time on the urgent , we have no time for the important."

Anyway, I think this could be fun.

Jump on in and add your favorite!

 

"That's not a leak. My Ford's just marking it's territory."

 

Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like bananas

 

As the frog said, "times really fun when your having flies"

When I was born, I was so ugly, Mom breast fed me with a straw.

Sorry, I'm having trouble with my short term memory, besides that, I'm having trouble with my short term memory.

That's enough, don't get me started!

I'm too poor to pay attention
Dumber than a box of rocks
Stupid is as stupid does
Drive fast-- take chances
Beauty is skin deep-- ugly goes to the bone

A sign hanging in a local tire store:

YES
WE HAVE USED TIRES, LIKE NEW, REAL CHEAP
BUT NOT YOUR SIZE

 

It's good enough for who it is for.

Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. By then, when you start to criticize him, you’ll be a mile away and you will have his shoes.
