One I remember is from Popeye, where I forget the character's name, but he always said:

"For a hamburger today, I will gladly pay you on Tuesday!"

More recent from a tire shop I like:

"Free beer tomorrow!"

Obviously, if you ask for free beer the next day, they say what does the sign say? LOL

And one more just came to mind:

"Henro never stops, does he?' ROFLMAO

Life is too short not to have as much fun as possible... :)

If things were any different they wouldn't be the same.

Dusty...that is not a very nice thing to say!

Especially when there is more than one poster above you! LOL
In general, I find the way you think to be very interesting!

I remember back in the 70s there were posters in the subways in London, that showed an image of nursing mothers and a saying something like "Guinness, the liquid of choice for nursing mothers!"

Paraphrasing of course. After 50 years the memory fades a bit.

I still remember the images on the subway walls though. More like paintings...ten feet wide and eight feet high...on the wall opposite the tracks... when standing on the platform.

Edit: that was before I was married and never drank beer or alcohol at all. After getting married my wife told me that drinking sugar drinks like Coke with meals was not a good thing. She suggested beer as a better choice!

At age 25 I developed a taste for beer. She gets aggravated when I remind her of this...too late in life to change now though...LOL

A horse that farts will never tire.....
A man that farts is the one to hire!

As frequently stated by my grandfather, whether it be indoors or out, while helping him with chores.

My mom had quite a few when I was growing up. One was " a son is a son until he marrys a wife, but a daughter a daughter all the days of her life''
I had three sisters and I always changed it and repeted it to them as "a son's a son till he marrys a wife but a daughter a B all the days of her life'...and yes I'd always get beat by them for saying that !!!

It was an old saying of the people in the travel industry. Unfortunately, some aren't old enough to remember it, or they just don't understand the pun behind it.
I rest my case, your Honour.

“That boy’s like a fart in a wind storm”


This isn’t an old one, but it’s one I started saying to a young guy at work who has issues paying attention when he needs to be listening.
“Focus, don’t f$&k us”

Now, all I have to say to him is “focus” and he finishes the rest. Haha
