Made with Love

Remember old sayings when you were young?.

Fuck your mama;

You fag!

Your mama is so ......

Stamped it no erase (ieeees)

Absolute Power

Uranus - not the planet
 
My father, who was born and raised in Mennonite farmland, had a wealth of Amish sayings, some of which still stick in my mind today.

Some he repeated for the sheer joy of German syntax in spoken English. For example:
• Throw papa down from the barn his handkerchief
• Throw the horse over the fence some hay

Others he repeated just for the common sense they embodied:
• No joy be complete lest it be shared.
• No man so wise he know everything, nor so stupid he know nothing
• Man who know everything still has much to learn
• Both rain and sunshine it takes to make the garden grow
• Those who have no children know best how to raise them
• Together go a narrow mind and a wide mouth
• Better to aim high and miss than aim at nothing and hit it
• To make your money last, first you must make your money

All these gems of truth were made quaint with Pennsylvania/Dutch pronunciation. This is the only one I can illustrate in print:
• Ve grow too schoon olt ... und too late schmart

Shut up back there! I'm warning you, if I have to pull this car over, you and your brother won't be able to sit down for a week.
