My mama always said..." You got the same britches to get glad in that you got mad in". Another one was..."be sure your sins will find you out". I thought she made that one up but I found it in the bible one time. haha

LOOK with your eyes, NOT with your hands!
whole milk separated when I was young, my father would say(as we shook up the milk)" STOP shaking up the cow sh*t!"- it was store milk, not from the farm!
and mine to teenage twin(hormonal)boys,who were stronger than me, "REMEMBER, you gotta sleep, sometime!"-they were good kids!

Lots of good ones here :-)

How's about - looking or feeling "like 40 miles of bad road".

That tastes good enough to make a puppy pull a freight train.

My father used to say about small steaks or sandwiches: that is as thin as the Dallas News!

One of my old favorites that I forgot to include yesterday.

The Ex would always say this one

When dinner was plain or lacked a main entree, his comment would be, " sh*t on a shingle".

And one of my top favorite saying is
"Two wrongs, don't make a right".
