Remembering Prince Albert (tobacco) in a can and prank calls to the corner grocery asking,"Do you have Prince Albert in a can?" "Why, yes we do." "Well then you'd better let him out!" Followed by much laughter, usually young boys.

When guns are outlawed only criminals and the government will have them and at that time I will see very little difference in either!
"Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems man faces." President Ronald Reagan
"We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the law breaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is acoutable for his actions." Presdent Ronald Reagan
Now the explanation of some of these words - tried to find the link to this but can't , it's a fun read.
"They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & Sold to the tannery.......if you had to do this to survive you were "Piss Poor". But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot......they "didn't have a pot to piss in" & were the lowest of the low".
"Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still smelled pretty good by June.. However, since they were starting to smell . ...... . Brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting Married."
"Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the upper crust."
"Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would Sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial.. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a wake."
"... When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive... So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be, saved by the bell or was considered a dead ringer."
" Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old. Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could, "bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and chew the fat."
Whatever!
Not sure If this one was mentioned yet but it would do well for the young folks to take to heart now days with all the cyber bullying:
"Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me!"
" Associate with men of good quality, if you esteem your own reputation: for it is better to be alone than in bad company. " George Washington
"Look what you did...…….. This is why we can't have nice things".

People never lie so much as after a hunt,during a war,or before an election.
Otto von Bismarck
No, we always said "it's colder than a witches tit in a cast iron bra" or "colder than a whores heart"
Grandfather always said "that makes as much sense as tits on a boar pig". "Worth as much as a pisshole in a snowbank"
These sayings bring back quite a bit and I often bust out with one without thinking and get some strange looks. Many are regional or very local but are being lost in the global environment. "She's/That's quite a rig" or "check out that rig".
"Crazy enough to run through hell in a gasoline suit"
"Ain't worth a plug nickle"
"Good gravy" as an exclamation.
"Got enough guts to hang on a fence"
"Tougher than whang leather"
"ugly enough to gag a maggot"
"slap you silly"
"does the Pope wear a funny hat"?

Did I ever mention that I hate to trim brass?
This is mainly an old army one, not kids, but certain soldiers were described by their NCOs as "spring loaded in the dumb position"
Another I used to hear the old timers say describing someone who was hopelessly screwed up is "tore up from the floor up".
One I remember my dad and uncle use when describing something that was badly broken or worn out is "it's seen better days".
"Thanks be to God." What my mother always called an unused piece of table ware that could returned to the silverware drawer without washing.
When asked if we could do some activity I really wanted, my Grandma would often say---"perhaps presently". I came to realize this meant somewhere between, somewhere between highly unlikely and it aint gonna happen!

When traveling from New Mexico or El Paso to visit Grandparents in Mississippi,
for about a day and a half, every hour or so one of us kids would ask, "Are we still in Texas"?
7-Up ran a commercial with a real big guy that had a part in a old James Bond movie saying, "This are un-cola nuts"
