Silly things you heard as a kid

We invaded Iraq because they had weapons of mass destruction

Dick Cheney needed to sell some weapons systems.

Doesn't seem so silly now, but at the time I thought my Dad's version of the golden rule was silly: "He who has the gold, rules."

Still young. 34 is the new 24.

I dont know. When I was 24, I could sleep on a cider block bed, wake up and hike 5 miles. Now the wrong pillow can require a week long rehab.

“Wild game tastes better than beef”

“You have to be able to hunt lower 48 grizz to put the fear of man in them”

Those were two classics I heard growing up from people. Still get a laugh when I hear them.

“Wild game tastes better than beef”.

I do know from experience that it tastes much better than beef you can't afford and have to do without.
I still prefer most game over store bought meats.

I heard this one I many times when I was a kid…

Every time I wanted something, which was Always…

My dad “well, I want an 18 year old red head, but it doesn’t look like I’m getting that either.” Took me a while to understand what he meant.

My grandpa told me as a joke once that hummingbirds migrate by riding on the backs of Canada geese. Its embarrassing how old I was when I discovered that wasn't true.

Uhhmmm...... I dunno?
I think beef is good. I think venison is good.
Comparing beef and venison is like comparing apples and oranges! LOL!

Found this online. Thought it would "fit" here!

Some others I have gleaned over time and stored away in my "Interesting File Of Useless Information"!

"That'll be a cold day in August!"

"Fence wire stretched so tight, you could play Dixie on it!"

"Blacker than the inside of 'ol Coalie's pocket!"

"So black, charcoal would make a white mark!"

"He was so mean, they had to hire pall bearers!"

"Richer than six foot up a bull's rear!"

"He's so tight, he's got nine and a half cents out of the first dime he ever got!"

"He's such a penny pincher, he can make Lincoln squeal!"

"So lazy, he wouldn't say "SOOOIEEEE" if the hogs were eating him!"

"That's a tough row to hoe!"
