Always expect the worst. That way you are never disappointed and often pleasantly surprised.

An old man once told a young newly married man, "Son there are two things you can not wear out, one is a pig's nose"

Go through money like a dose of salts through a widow woman.

She was so mad, her hair was burning and her ass was catching.

A newly married man was heard talking to an old man. He was concerned about his love life. The old man pointed to the fence out front of the house. Son, the post will rot away, but the hole will still be there.

All I can think of for the moment.

From grandmother:
Big drops don't last long.
Mare's tails and fish scales mean rain in two days.
Both are true here in the midwest. I'll see if I can think of more.

Actually, this is a real religious ritual from the Sufi branch of Islam ("Sufis rule!", declared Danny De Vito). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sufi_whirling

One of my favorite authors, Rebecca Ore, wrote " Don't piss in my ear and tell me it's raining ".

Cat Ballou, fond memories of that movie. Eighteen, amidst my thumb gypsy days, passing through Berkley, went to the college, they were showing the film and serving popcorn for a fundraiser. I gave them my last dollar-fifty, gorged on popcorn, flirted shamelessly with the girl running the projector and slept in the student lounge when the movie was over.

Don't bother to try to talk sense to idiots. They're more experienced in idiocy than you and will beat you every time.

Well, I can't post a good photo of Cat (copyright, drat!).

But this is the horse (with Lee Marvin)...

I heard you twice the first time.

When I want your opinion I'll give it to you.

As I used to hear in S. Carolina: Ya gotta put both feet in the bucket before you stomp the snake.

I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

I'll f**k off, you wait here.

Tinkers' dam A small dam made from putty FOR solder. Fixed it for ya.
A tinker could fix a hole in a copper bucket or whatever by encircling the leak with a putty dam then pouring melted solder into it. The dam held the solder in shape until it cooled. When the repair was done the dam was just so much dried putty and not worth much at all.
