A friend of mine at work came up with this and it always made me think.

"I don't understand everything I know about that"

Is your friend an engineer?

The only real "Saying" I remember is "I SWEAR, I WILL TURN THIS CAR AROUND RIGHT NOW!!!"

No, he was in IT and so was I although I had an engineering degree. He was a marathoner and we were tennis fanatics (not that good but played a lot )

When my wife was first pregnant I remember my old boss telling me about children:

"You spend the first year of their lives lovingly teaching them to walk and talk, and then the rest of their lives telling them to sit down and shut up..."

How true!

Cheers

Patience is a virtue.

Do not go gentle into that good night!

Girls are more mature than guys at the same age.

Used to think that was preposterous.

Now I look around and (excluding shit like FB, texting, and cell phones) I realize it was and is, true.

A pipe (cigar, cigarette, chewing gum, toothpick, chewing tobacco, etc.) gives a wise man time to think.

And an idiot something to stick in his mouth.
