Did you know that dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish?

30 days has September
April, June and No Wonder
All the rest eat peanut butter
Save my grandmother
Who rides a bicycle!

My father taught me that when I was a toddler. I think it is attributable to Spike Milligan but it could equally well be Edward Lear or Samuel Clements (Mark Twain) who were both partial to a little nonsense verse.

I have some good (proper) limericks too. But, most limericks are, at least, indecent and, at best, downright obscene.
I will try and think if I can recall a few that can be posted here later without getting me into trouble.

Limerick rhyming scheme is A, A B, B, A. First, second and last lines usually longer and third and fourth lines short.
The first line is usually something like this "There was a (adjective, person) from (place)" and second line starts "who..." but this is not invariable.

If it is not, at least, slightly dirty it is a ring in from a bowdler who thinks thinks he can impose his "holier than thou" view on the world.

Example;
There was a young man from Calcutta
(next line tomorrow)

Quotepartial to a little nonsense verse.

My Dad use to like these too.
He taught me this one...

Early in the morning, in the middle of the night,
two dead soldiers got up, to fight.
Back to back, they faced each other,
drew their swords and shot each other.

I think there is a lot more to this, but I never learned it.

OK just Googled it, and there seems to be a few different versions.
Here is one version..

 "One fine day in the middle of the night" (Journal Versions)

    One fine day in the middle of the night,
    Two dead boys* got up to fight, [*or men]
    Back to back they faced each other,
    Drew their swords and shot each other,

    One was blind and the other couldn't, see
    So they chose a dummy for a referee.
    A blind man went to see fair play,
    A dumb man went to shout "hooray!"

    A paralysed donkey passing by,
    Kicked the blind man in the eye,
    Knocked him through a nine inch wall,
    Into a dry ditch and drowned them all,

    A deaf policeman heard the noise,
    And came to arrest the two dead boys,
    If you don't believe this story’s true,
    Ask the blind man he saw it too!

here's another oldie:-

Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To fetch her poor doggy a bone.
When she got there
The cupboard was bare
So the doggy ......................(Censored).


Or this little ditty:

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To get a pail of water
Jill the dill forget her pill
An now she has a daughter..............

If we are going to nursery rhymes.
my favourite is...

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's horses and all the King's men,
said, " **** him, he's only an egg".


A friend of mine from work, use to use one liners all the time.
I think his favourite was something like this...

"You're face is so ugly, they could use it for the backdrop in a horror movie."
Title: RE: favourite sayings
Post by: Goldseeker on April 20, 2013, 11:07:33 PM
How's about this one liner:

Compared to my wife's face, the moons surface is flat.........

Or how about this:

It is cheaper to by the bolt of material than it is to buy her a dress.....

Fell A over T in the gutter

Nancy (on that other coin forum) "You're a tinny bugger".
Does anyone know the derivation of 'tinny' in the sense of lucky?

And, check this one out Outrageous Aussie Sayings (http://www.sunburntcountry.au.com/sayings/fulllist.html). "A little more choke and he would have started!" made me laugh out loud.

I don't know about you Fulvio but I am "old school" and a simple YES or NO works out perfect for me (most times :angel:).
Imagine saying that to the preacher on your wedding vows .
Do you take this woman as your lawful wife? and you answer "definite possible maybe" :dodgy:

That would probably lead to far fewer problems than saying "Yes", at least in my experience. ;)
