She is a three bagger. You put a bag over her head One over your head and one over your dogs head so he'll have respect for you in the morning.

Easier than having sex in prison.

She got hit in the head with a bag of rectums and half of them stuck.

She is a Viagra killer.

That's all for now folks.

That's what my older Italian Cousin told me just before I rode a motorcycle for the first time about 30 years ago.  Still live by those words.

A few from work:
He has finally reached his level of incompetence.

Pound it to fit and paint it to match.

A little zinc chromate covers a multitudes of sins.

Your job is a bird nest on the ground.

Shines like a diamond in a goat's ass.

All it lacks is finishing up.

It flew in here; it'll fly out.

My one, when it comes to engineering is, "hope is not a strategy!"

And one of our apprentices was described as "as useful as two blokes on leave."
