Make your head save your hands.

My personal favorite of my dad's.... "Let me tell you that guy is windier than a truckload of a$$holes"!! (clapping)

My dad's wisdom.

"The empty barrel makes the most noise"
" Crazy as a bag full of a@@holes"
My all time favourite and dead on the money, he told me " Son you're goin' to be the one that learns everything the hard way". That was so true.

I asked him one day how he and my mother got together? His answer. " I ran so fast she caught me"

If you're broke here's a couple you might say...

"I couldn't buy a sick whore a glass a water"

and when someone wants you to get 'em something to eat:

"what do you want... a toothpick and a glass a water?"

Another of my dad's saying... this one in regards to when we used to feed pigs... he said " kick a pig every time you get close to one... as it is either going to trouble or coming back from it."

Another thing my dad told me years ago, when I came up with the idea of building a farrow to finish pig barn. He considered my plan for a few minutes and then he said" Have you considered picking bottles out of the ditches?  I think you would make as much money and you won't stink when you come in the house". I think of this often, and it was very sound advice.

Our registered Shorthorn herd was started in 1917 by my grandfather. There were unregistered Shorthorns here shortly after the spring of 1903 when my grandparents homesteaded here. Part of our farm was broke with a Shorthorn steer and a mule hooked together to a plow. Although my grandfather has been dead for many years I can still hear him say things like " you buy a good bull when you find one... not when you need one."

Another thing I remember him saying as a very young child was " a commercial man should be willing to pay what 7 weaned steers would bring or 3 fat steer, for a good bull" I certainly wish I could hear people saying like that today! He always based his prices for his bulls at what 7 steers would be worth.

Just a few more...

If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch

Worthless as a one legged man in a butt kicking contest

Hunkered up like a coyote trying to pass a peach seed

Fartin' mule never tires

You couldn't hit sand if you fell of a camel

Them things are scares as hen's teeth

Fuller than crap in a Christmas turkey

If you keep your mouth shut no one will know your stupid.  Probably not the best thing to tell a kid but my dad used to say it too me.  I think it was his way to get me to shut up and listen.
