Wish I had said that?

Have you ever heard a saying that stuck in your mind, and you thought, "I wished I had said That"
One of those sayings that is on everyones lips at one time or another.
Like A Stitch in time, Or A Bird in the hand, Birds of a feather etc: you get my drift.
Well here's your chance lets see who can come up with an original saying that will be on everyones lips in the future.

My Offering is this.

The passage of time is like a falling feather, it reaches the ground far quicker than one would expect.

"you wouldn't want to hear the truth"-hmm I wonder who that was? Alfred Hitchcock?
The truth is usually a lie

 

'Even a wrong turning leads somewhere.' Nice. Nothing is ever as good or as bad as when you first hear it.

 

I'm actually taking this from a book, but it's something that you can use in a little argument you're having. Let's say that you're a teenager like me, and you're grounded, and your parents say that you can't come out of your room. Well, if you have to use the bathroom, and your parents catch you, then you can say something like this: Mom or dad yells, "(Name), what are you doing out of your room?! I thought I had told you that you couldn't come out!" You say back calmly or harshly, whichever way you prefer it (I prefer calmly, or you'll just get grounded again), "Well, you're not the only human in this house, you know. I'm a living, breathing, human being too, and sometimes, I have to use the restroom." Tip: Don't use it all the time; it'll seem more cliche than it already is, and it gets on people's nerves. And your parents or whoever you're saying it to will catch on to it eventually if you do. Savannah

My daughter, who was two at the time, in answer to the question: "What are you doing with a teapot on your foot?" said "I'm just being a person, daddy." I loved the simplicity of the answer - better than anything I could have come up with. She followed it up a few minutes later with a proud: "I do the best farts in the world". Brought a tear to my eye.
I think this one is my favourite, I wonder why I don't heed it sometimes lol It is better to keep ones mouth shut and let people think your a fool, than open it and remove all doubt.
The Other is the Man's Paradox You Spend Nine months getting out, and the rest of your life trying to get back in ?

I haven't put what meanings sayings involve! Light exstinguished is darkness engaged? Good luck. julie xx
"Lovely Jubbly". I have only heard a few people use this saying, and they were mostly Brummies ( my home town although I live in Plymouth now ) a saying derived from the frozen Jubley Orange Ice Block, we used to have as kids. Down here in the south west my wife says she had never heard it before, mind you in Brum we call Crumpets, Pike-lets, and again this was a term they had never heard. Not by any chance a Brummie are you Julie.
new Clive Pearson Hello! Thankyou answering comments, some are sayings our days.whoops! No! I am Sussex born and bread. Although went Bournemouth once single for a while! I will tell you where it comes from I love saying! Like your's for "Lovley Jubby" I always loved and watched "Del Boy" and "David Jason" think films and Dvd for a laugh! and to lift one up someimes. Adn "Carry On films fab; both. "Trotter's Van2 'Del Boy and the blow up dolls,squealed air compressed! I did go "Birmingham" when,we had bread and sugar poor times,from an uncle bad for teeth! big family,some m from Scotland and Somerset,accent have! And I had Bournemouth accent single,when returned home. Like the name of yours for "Lovely Jubbly". Yes,we say crumpets! but can mean.that's a nice bit of crumpet too,get my meaning.

Ha ha ha yeah Julie I do remember now that was Del Boys favourite saying ha ha ha, that and " You Plonker Rodney" lol. my Son Gareth loves Only fools and Horses and has every episode, that he and his son Jacob can recite word for word line by line. But we was using the term Lovely Jubly in the early sixties, and it really did originate as part of the ad campaign for the Jubilee Ice lol chunk. regards Clive x
new Clive-Pearson Hi! Oh! Thanks for commenting. And letting me know it originated from ice lol ad; 196o's. Ah! remeber so much music and all,of those times must be age! Brings all memory back on AbcTales. How clever your son 'Gareth and his son can recite word for word. The paper way back gave away free cd "Only Fools and Horses. Still have and others. Another one "Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. And jsut seen it in paper too! I just couldn't imagine "David Jason" taking any other part than marvellous, "Only Fools and Horses". "Darling Buds Of May" good. And Inspector Frost! Have a nice weekend. Love shows and musicals and all kinds music. julie x
Don't mention it Julie .. My Son and his son sometimes pretend they are Rodders and Del, it can be quite funny watching them, acting out a particular sketch. My Grandsons favourite one is where Del boy falls through the bar after they raise the flap, and he goes to lean on it lol . Did you see David Jason recently in the Royal Bodyguard that was so funny . any how have a Lovely Jubly weekend xx
yummy yummy yummy was said by Yassir Arafat when he realised a pigeon had laid an egg on Easter morning in his balaclava. Thence he boiled it and ate it the only way he knew. Through his sisters nose . Later that day someone farted. Of that we are certain.
I'm glad you did ! May I tweet this Foosiet? Alongside the Iran Democratica Tweets!
a fart in the forest is better than one in the house. The Old man and the Fart I didn't say that this 8th of March
Does that mean Mr Stan, that we Weemen (?) are allowed to say some truths and are supposed to suppress them the rest of the year? he he As Jolono so rightly stated you men have charge of the other 364 days. We certainly still need to cry out for equal rights, don't we? Sorry it's the 9th now-I'll shut up. ;D
I honestly don't believe so Footsie. That makes chaos and war in my opinion.
new All Do you know force of a "Cows fart" will knock you over proved? Well mine eats lot of baked beans alway's he is full of wind? calcaderl julie xx
