Grandpa's one liners
Uploaded on May 29, 2009We all have great memories of someone in our lives that was or fulfilled that role of grandparent. The sage old gray hair that put up with us as we are and loved us anyways. There are many catch phrases and one liners that come from age and wisdom- words of encouragment that are intended to preserve posterity. What was the best one-liner that you ever heard from your grand-dad, or grandmother?
Grandpa said, "if you are going to be dumb, you better be tough"
Lets hear what grandpa told you...

When life gets tough, just grit your teeth and get through it.
After dislodging a severly stuck tractor with seeminly no effort:
"you gotta hold your mouth just right"
Pocket knife? You could bring your gun to school.
"Well piss up a rope !" When things really fell apart/did'nt work out as planed
"Less is more" The less you run your mouth the more you get from life.
Opinions are like @$$holes, every one has one. Self explanatory...
My grandpa used to say "Hit the Pike!" and "DonbesoDumm"
Some good ones...
another family favorite, "Don't lead with your face~ you're already ugly enough!"
not to good but what I hear most often from my grandpa. "sit down and eat your food." always gets the job done.
When you don't get what you want, it's called EXPERIENCE!
"Good enough for the people we work for." He always said that when we were working around his place.
My grandpa was not the freindliest man I have ever met. He would always tell my dad and uncle, and later my brother and I, "You are useles as t!tt$ on a boar hog!"
I can't repeat my grandfather favorite expression. I can hardly think it with out my ears getting red!
"You never know"
Grandpa said, "I would rather be lucky than smart."
At the end of a story about a particularly miserable hnunt "a lot of character was built that day"
time to go? "well I'm off like a herd of turtles"
And he wants to know what time it is NOW, he'd survey the scene, size it up and say "what time is all this taking place?"
"I'm gonna hang you up by your heals in a minute"
i'd rather be a smart@#$ than a dumb@##. and I don't know anyone but his buddy Mike that could call him either.
MY GRANDFATHER HAD SEVERAL SAYINGS THROUGH THE YEARS BUT WHEN SOMETHING DID NOT GO JUST RIGHT HE WOULD ALWAYS SAY " IF THAT DO JUST BE THE BUGS AFIGHTIN"
Let me tell you about a time when...
Grandpa said, "Don't work any faster than you can think!"
This might be why some of us never get anything done!
"Don't always expect someone in charge is smart." Atkins Motto for 5 generations.
In Serbian my grandpa would alway say "No one does it like a Serbian can do it!"
When I was a little kid I was struggling to carry a railroad tie to a post hole and was told (Your so weak you couldn't knock a 90 year old lady off the piss pot) He was giving me heck of course.
Best repeated phrase "Old men don't have to fight fair" when i was younger I was always gunning to prove I could hold my own with the older memebers.
Hey kyle...I was wondering how somebody came to that conclusion? It must be one of those real awkward kind of stories... maybe I don't want to know after all! It sure sounds funny though!
My grandpa always said "No matter how much you sake it, the last two drops always ends up in your pants."
Its colder than a witch's titties out here!! he said on cold days
mine used to say rules are meant to be broken except mine.
had a bud who always said lets go to the home depot an hire a mexican.
my other grandpa would as random as he could he would shout, quit playin pocket pull, just to embarrass people.
