I propose we start a mudcatters one liner hall of fame. There is just so many great lines though out the years we have document them. I start off with a

Thiemeism "If it weren't fer time, we would have to do everything all at once" or "If yer memory starts to go , well just ferget it"

Captain has a million of them ... Jerry has a million of them

lets get em rolling

If a partial line is admissable, Ebbie's "...the sound of a distant toilet flushing" is way up among the all-time greats.

Ebbie, a line from one of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood novels is "Life is short...but wide."

This old thread has a lot of good ones: Gallery of Mudcat Quotations

Including, for example, this excellent piece of advice from the ever-missed Rick Fielding: "I've squeezed Crazy Glue into more than one Juke Box in bars where I was playing. It worked. In each place they had to remove the machine to fix it."

Hmmm. I never read any of those novels but even if I had, the sentiment is opposite to my contention. :)

The lemonade one was in a "Funny Dog" photo submitted a few months ago on a BS thread. I decided to actually spell the words correctly instead of "rap speak".

driving north on the backroads from Tennessee the other day there was no sign to tell us that we crossed the state line into Kentucky

Oh yeah, Bankley? Well I heard people in Tennessee were so dumb they couldn't pour piss out of a boot with the directions on the heel. Most of the folks in Southern Kentucky had to move out of Northern Tennessee because the ground was so poor you had to sit on a bag of manure to raise an umbrella.

He couldn't organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a handful of hundred dollar bills and a half dozen drunk sailors.

If I didn't make that up I musta forgot I heard it SOMEwhere.

I don't get no respect... the other day I went to a whorehouse at noon but a sign on the door said, "Gone to lunch, go fuck yourself."

I know who wrote that but I can't say.
