(Silly ole Sayings)

I saw this sign regarding swimming: Do not go near the water until you learn how to swim.

When visiting some friends in Tampa, I asked about going to eat at a particular restaurant. My friends said, "Nobody ever goes there; it's too crowded."

How about this one: If you get this message, call; and if you don't, don't call.

I asked a friend about the old lie paradox. I asked, "If a person says he always lies, is he telling the truth?" The answer my friend gave was, "Yes, everybody lies."

What to you think? Can a liar ever be trusted to tell the truth? How do you know?

Do you know of any silly sayings or questions like these?

Was making coffee last night when I read this on my coffee maker: DO NOT HOLD OVER PEOPLE! and THROW AWAY IF BROKEN!

I like the books that have pages in them that say, "This page intentionally left blank..." If it has that at the bottom or on the page anywhere, is it a blank page? HA!

My all time least liked saying is "God is my co-pilot", if that be true, who is in control and who is the pilot he answers to?

And I must mention the sign I saw a couple of years back in a yard covered in weeds, grown up waist high, in the yard of a home nearby that proudly read "Will do Yard Work" and gave the number to call.

One more observation. At the drive through ATM outside most banks why do they have braille? Are the people who need it really driving?

semobrat > yes that was an actual DDD classified...however, as soon as I "blogged" about it, I went straight to the classifieds to read it again and POOF, it was not there anymore...but it was there...and it was in the newspaper as well :)

How about...Do you know where you lost it! [ another duh]

Hey, oefvet. That DDD entry sounds kind of "fake"? NEW but used 3 times. That's hilarious.

And Leisal, that picture on car seats is another, DUH, how dumb are we?

How about "two is company, and 3 is a crowd". Let me tell you, when keeping grandkids for a week, TWO IS A CROWD!!

How about the add in the DDD classifieds that reads something like..."NEW in box...used 3 times..." ?!?

How about the instructions on an infants car seat that says a picture of a child being held upside down in their seat with an x through it. DUH

How about "every rose has a thorn"?

How about the signs on the highways that say "road may be slippery when wet". Duh, who doesn't know that?

How about "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink?"

How's this?

BTW, MODOT spent a lot of money and time on the new highway...seems to me for the money spent westbound floodway bridges would have been smoother. Drove over them tonight for the first time and wasnt impressed! However, East bound bridge is great! Just a thought...
