    Love the little tags that come on pillows and such, something like "Do not remove, under penalty of law".

    You know it actually took me awhile before I realized, hey it's my dang pillow and I'll take it off it I want to. There aren't really pillow police that go door to door to enter our homes to check our pillows for tags...

    Just bought a plant the other day.
    On the tag was the statement "unlawful to propagate"???
    How come they're selling it?

    DH was working with a guy from England and in an email he said "He felt like the baby who threw his dummy from the prom". DH asked what he meant and the guy ignored him assuming my DH was just being a smart aleck. This week he was here in the states working so he asked the guy what he meant. "He felt like the baby who threw his dummy (pacifier) from his prom (stroller)."

    I used to fly several times a month for work. And the announcement at O'Hare Airport in Chicago always made me laugh:
    Do not take anyone else's belongings on the plane without your knowledge...

    I'm loving reading all these. I've heard almost all of them ( and maybe said a few myself. )

    He may have said 'pram' but you know how the English mispronounce our language!

    When I would ask my mother a question she didn't care to answer she would say "Cat fur to make kitten britches". She never would explain it.

    How about
    brown as a berry
    warm as toast

    then: just butter my butt and call me a biscuit
