Calamity Jane Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all....."not bad advice, actually.

Lazlo Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 "eat your food. There are lots of starving children in the world who would love to eat what is on your plate"My response to this one was "Bull shit, they've suffered enough". I usually ended up wearing my dinner but my mother's ensuing migraine made it all worth while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\/\/illy Posted November 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 my grandma used to always say "you better mind your ps and qs or else i'll pin your ears back"I haven't read through all these posts yet so maybe someone already said this but, apparently, that expression originated in pubs. The bartender would use it when things started getting out of hand. He'd tell everyone to mind their own P's (Pints) and Q's (Quarts). I have no idea how true it is but it sounds plausable.
