Quotations you remember

[fhm555]

Another one that your dad's first quote reminded me of:

In the military, we'd often ask each other, "How much more time ya' got?". We were referring to either time left prior to discharge, or time left before going back to "The World" from Vietnam.

If the dude said, "Six more months", I'd reply, "Well hell, I could hold my fist up a bears' ass for 6 months!"

In the Suck it was all about “how short are you?”
Replies ranged from…
“Short enough I have to stand on a nickel to piss on a dime.”
Or…
“Short enough to do pull-ups on a paper clip.”
To…
“Three days and a wakeup.”

Oh yeah! One of my favorites was, "I'm so short I can sit on the edge of a dime and dangle my feet..."

Reminds me of a convo I had with a USN officer I deployed with in Afghanistan a decade ago: “They haven’t cut the tree to make the fire that will produce the smoke to make the pollution that will affect the flight of the guy coming to replace me”. Good one!

Any man who says he can see through a woman is missing out on a lot.

Behind every good man is a good woman, and behind her is his wife.

There’s an inappropriate Groucho quote for pretty much every occasion.
