An old mechanic I used to know often said: "Don't force it just get a
bigger hammer."
My great uncle used to say, "Here we have nine months of winter and
three months of bad sledding."
I am now old enough to say it myself.

A new one that came about during this trip to the sandbox;
We've got a younger E4 in another squad that everyone likes - very laid back latino kid from LA that everyone calls 'Chico'. His wit is sharper than hell and he's just one of those naturally hilarious people. But he has this bashful delivery like he feels bad about saying it most of the time. He's a kind heart and we love him for it.
He was telling us the story of where his sister's Quinceañera (basically a sweet sixteen party mixed with family reunion) went awry when the angry drunk uncle that always screws everything up brought his girlfriend nobody liked and her three hoodlum mid-late teenage sons to the party.
They all get a few beers in them and say something rather offensive to the birthday girl and one of her friends, and the ensuing melee rolled every fighting age male out into the parking lot. As other partygoers were trying to leave, the Police showed up and broke up the fight with a generous application of Sabre Red. He bashfully and hilariously described his involvement in that fight as "It wasn't my proudest moment, but it had to be done"
But because the fight blocked the main entrance/exit to the party venue, a few folks got caught in the pepper spray including a 10 month old baby in a baby carrier.
His telling of this story had us all rolling and I wish I could do justice to it - but the resulting colloquialism was;
"Time to mace this baby" meaning that we have to do something that sucks that'll have unintended, damaging consequences
Adjusted as needed to include 'baby got maced' etc.
My girlfriend actually uses this one quite a bit. Seems like it's a pretty universal expression.Originally Posted by CCT125US
My pistol shooting has actually been described with those exact words...Although I do hope I've gotten a tiny bit better since then.
If it flies, floats or f**ks: rent it.

"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master"
Bugs Bunny era cartoons (especially Foghorn and Daffy) had some of the best quotes ever. That list missed my favorite - "That boy is quieter than a caterpillar walking across a bed of moss wearing sneakers."
My favorite from Daffy - "Well, it was either him or me, and obviously it couldn't be me."
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

When a delivery truck or forklift driver would start laying on the horn to get someone's attention one of our old techs would always say "Horn blows, how about the driver?"

Tact is the knack of making a point without making an enemy / Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
A flyer of my acquaintance had a list of pithy "Ten Commandments of Flying."
I recall only
Remember, the pilot is always the first at the scene of the crash.
Planes fly because of Bernouli, not Marconi.
