Said to me by a sixty-something neighbour (in despair, after her hubby had just said something daft):

Of course 'common sense' isn't very common amongst 'baby-boomers'...every-thing was rationed just after the war!

Ironing is a cosmetic chore & I'm not much into cosmetics (a reason I once gave for wearing a t shirt that was a little creased but I didn't think was that bad)

If I want your opinion I will read your entrails (t shirt slogan)

My favourite quote is about giftwrapping & it comes from Buffy
Willow: Does this look right?
Anya: Only if you wrapped it with your feet

I was just reading our parish news letter and came across this:"The pastor would appreciate it if the ladies of the Congregation would lend him their electric girdles" :shock:
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

This one is a freebie from me for any girls who go to dancing classes such as modern jive or salsa:

Never dance with a man who is fitter than you.

Abstinence is a virtue.

Thus, abstaining from abstinence is doubly virtuous.

Saw one in a newspaper piece about corruption in government:

"He broke the politician's eleventh commandment: thou shalt not be found out."

Said to me by a friend in about 1970 - so you can imagine the scene ...

"When you're already on the floor, you can't fall out of bed".

It seemed meaningful at the time :iconbiggrin:
