Inspired by off-topic discussion on another thread, this is about things my/your dad/uncle/grandpa... used to say.
My dad was a cut-up, but quietly.
He would utter small musings at people just to watch their reactions. Dad was a people watcher, and I am too.
To start things off, the saying that got this thread started,
"You just don't understand all you know about the situation"
This usually left people stumbling for a response.
Anytime someone would do him a small favor, like holding open a door, or even handing him a menu at a restaurant he would say,
"Your overwhelming generosity is exceeded only by your extremely good looks"
Speaking of restaurants, when the server asked, "Will this be separate checks, or all on one?", dad would say,
"It really doesn't matter. We're going to run out on the bill anyway"
When asked how he was doing he replied,
"I feel more like I do now than I did before"
And the list goes on, and on, and...
So, what little quips do you recall from your past?
