funny sayings

While I was living in Texas a little ways north of the Dallas/Fort Worth metro area, the former long time Denton County sheriff got picked in a near by county for speeding, then failed the breathalyzer.

The Denton newspaper published the story and included a portion of the recording the DPS trooper made during the arrest. For nearly every statement the Trooper made, our former Sherrif answered with:

"Well Bless my heart".

Was he really saying, "Well fuck ME?"

I'm a little surprised that the Trooper didn't let him go as professional courtesy to a former Sherriff. Maybe nobody in the law enforcement community liked him?

ps. I lived in TX for over 20 years and heard many an older person, usually old ladies use the "Bless your heart" a lot. Never took it as anything but a polite expression. I guess I was clueless. Of course my ex wife, born and raised in TX, always said tha phrase, right up to the day she told me she'd been having and affair with someone else and we were getting divorced. Hmmm makes me wonder.
I've always seen it used after saying something critical, then adding, "Bless her heart."
 
"did you hear about the guy who killed both his parents and begged for the court's mercy because he was an orphan?" - That's the classic definition of the Yiddish word "chutzpah."
 
My husband deals with idiots by saying things like 'That guy's so cheap he'd skin a turd for a penny', 'don't get into a battle of wits, you don't have enough ammo', and my favorite; 'I would love to stay and listen, but the 'give a fuck' part of me already left...'
The one I use is trying to have a battle of wits with the unarmed.
 
'Tis better to remain silent and let people think you are a fool,
rather than to speak up and let them know you are.
 
Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian.

Il n’y a aucun plaisir plus subtile qu’être appeller un idiot par un imbécile.

There is no pleasure more subtle than being called an idiot by an imbecile.

The modern (military) aircraft is a complex thing demanding a bit of careful thought, both in operating and maintaining it.

Given this, realizing that a common safety check performed before boarding a military plane aboard a carrier is checking for leaking fluids.

The rule is the opposite that people expect - those looking for them WANT to find them before getting aboard. It means they still have at least some critical fluids!
