I used to type up the minutes from Board of Education meetings when I was Secretary to the Board. We had one Trustee who used to say "ahhh" all the time. One time I was so sick of hearing it that I actually included all his "ahhh"'s in the minutes, just to make a point. He was the talkative one who always had something to say about everything that was on the agenda. I think he actually used that to fill in the pauses so no one could interrupt him. The Board all had a good chuckle but the Superintendent made me remove them.

My FIL used to say: sh*# and 2 make 4
I never did understand that one.
