Ok, since someone brought up passing gas, I have to add another charming saying from my dear old Mamaw.

"Better to f*rt and bear the shame than not to f*rt and bear the pain."

My DH lo9ikes to say that some of his crew are about 3 fries short of a happy neal. Also, that someone fairly generous would give you the shirt off his back, then bitch cause he's cold. I am always using off the wall phrases (like "off the wall" but enjoy so much the coloquialisms of this country

Better you should cry now than I should cry later! when a child is reprimanded for doing something really stupid - like running into the street without looking, etc.
