    Don't let your mouth write checks your ass can't cash.

    With all this gray hair you think I was born yesterday.

    Vernon Allen quotes are a dime a dozen, but those stick out most at the moment.

    "A job worth doing is worth doing right"

    "If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself"

    Later in life, since I've had a couple boys of my own, he's said many times:

    "One boy's a boy, two boys is half a boy, and three boys ain't no boy at all"

    One quote that I always remember my grandpa saying is:

    "You look with your eyes, not your hands."

    My dad is famous for:

    "God gave men two heads and enough blood to run one."

    "When one head gets hard, the other goes soft."

    My Dad-"Don't make me take my belt off!"
    Me-Giggles hysterically
    My Dad-"What's so funny?"
    Me-"Your pants will fall off!":laugh:

    One of my favorites: "No matter where you go, there you are!" Took me years to figure that one out! My dad is a clown and I love him for it! He taught me to laugh and have a sense of humor! :D

    My Dad said a lot of stuff, but my favorite is ...."Don't be one of those guys that just stands around watching someone that needs help, help them." I miss my Dad.

    He has many saying's but these are ones that stuck with me most and that I catch myself saying.

    "Up and at 'em, the cows is callin'." (when he'd wake me up)

    "Hut four, out the door." (when it was time to work)

    "Boy, that grass aint gonna mow itself."

    "We need to have a talk on the back porch" (time for a attitude adjustment usually involving a belt)

    "Your pitiful you wouldn't make it one day in the Marines, I wonder if they had DNA testing when you were born.

    Dating advise.

    Don't mess with girls with big **** they get fat when they get old. I was maybe 12 or 13.

    If it take three times to get it right and four times to get it perfect do it four times.

    The one I heard most often as a teen was " Just how stupid are you ? "
    When I would get caught in a lie trying to cover up one of my fiasco's "Just how stupid do you think I am?"

    And when I take some sort of short cut that tears something up "Might of been money ahead to......." ( I still hear this one every once in a while)
