    Parental sayings

    My dad once shared some of the wisdom by which he lived. He said "don't **** where you eat". This had to do with chasing girls where one works.

    My mother, who was truly wise, except for the fact that she married my dad, said, "life is long, you'll get over it". This had to do with things that bothered, but the wisdom of it was that it also applied to life itself.

    Your parents have any sayings?

    My mum had one for a few years that I'm never going to forgive her for.

    "I hope it's a phase"
    Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
    -Richard Dawkins

      Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

                "Keep it up and I'll give you something worth crying about!" My mom could be intense at times. Then there was the old stand by: "Do you want another spanking?"

                    Father:
                    You can fall in love with anybody. They might as well be rich.

                      My Mother:
                      There are many ways to attract women.

                      1. Be good looking and wealthy. Better have a backup plan.

                      2. Demonstrate your skills at cleaning and cooking, since most women will fool themselves into thinking you'll continue to do them once married.

                      3. Have a good sense of humor. It helps when times are dark.

                        "when a girl is naked, you don't have to look at her face."

                        "when a girl looks dirtier than the bottom of your boot, stay the f*ck away."

                        "sh*t flows downhill."

                            My dad used to say that too. Well, there's no danger of that, my current workplace is so devoid of women it isn't funny any more.

                              My Mum used to say "You can put your eyes on sticks but I won't ...."

                              That was a good one.
                              Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..
