    Sorry Scott, I was sure yours would be on the list.

    It might on a list somewhere where they keep the odd things.  8 )

    27)  "Don't reach across the dinner table, it's bad manners. Haven't you got a tongue in your head?", "Yes mum, but it's not long enough!"

    28)  Johnny, seated at the dinner table, shouts to his mum who is busy in the kitchen, "Mum, I hate dads guts!". Mum, not really listening, "Don't worry dear, just leave them on the side of the plate."

    LMAO Heard all of those! Now my role has been changed though : I was once a sayee, but now a sayer.

    Call me nuts, but sometimes... I miss these, knowing I'll never be able to hear them again.

    Well if he jumped off a cliff are you gonna follow him?  Be a damn leader for Christ's sake.

    Ha, I got that one a few times from my Mom. but it was more like "If she jumped off a bridge..."

    I would respond, "it depends", depends on what, "well, Mom, exactly how high is the bridge?"

    which would then lead to the inevitable, and often used..

    "Don't be such a smart a$$" - and only once was my reply "better than a dumba$$"

    Why only once, well, 1 face slap, I got the message loud and clear!

    Hi all,    

    I used to get,   Your about as much use as a chocolate fireguard or teapot,    about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike.     When God gave out brains you thought he said drains and asked for a empty one.     Now you've got something to cry  about.       And lots more but too rude offensive and just plain wrong.    ✌🙂

    LMFAO At this point, I guess it's safe to say these are genetically encoded in human DNA. Expressions may vary a little, but all in the same context no matter what language or culture. Shockingly amazing! LOL

    So, even at a paultry 4000 years of discord, don't expect change, any time soon

    Not really shocking, when think about, all those expressions are contained here as well...
