I post slogans on my door for passers-by to read. I am told that residents of the old folks enjoy or are intrigued by them. I enjoy the attention. Some are silly, some are banal, some are curious. Here are a few:
From Laugh In-
DO DE NAME RUBY BEGONIA RING A BELL
SOCK IT TO ME
HERE COME DE JUDGE
Old sayings-
DON'T CHANGE HORSES IN THE MIDDLE OF A STREAM
YOU CAN LEAD A HORSE TO WATER, BUT YOU CANNOT MAKE HIM DRINK.
One ex-farmer stopped me to explain how he could make a horse drink. Put salt in his hay.
Silliness -
IF YOU ASK A SCOTSMAN WHAT HE WEARS UNDER HIS KILT, HE WILL GLADLY SHOW YOU. SO DON'T ASK
GOING TO SLEEP GETS EASIER THE MORE YOU PRACTICE
IF YOU DISH IT OUT, YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO TAKE IT TOO
THE EARTH IS MADE OF STAR DUST AND IS OLDER THAN YOU THINK
YOU DON'T KNOW JUST HOW LUCKY YOU ARE, DO YOU?
GRAHAM CRACKERS AND COCOA IS NOT A BALANCED DIET
WHERE'S MY OTHER SHOE?
TURKEY WITHOUT CRANBERRY SAUCE IS LIKE LAMB WITHOUT MINT JELLY
KEEP BOTH EYES AND YOUR MIND OPEN
IF YOU MUST BE JEALOUS OF SOMETHING SOMEONE ELSE HAS, MAKE IT HIS WISDOM
IF YOU SPEND A NICKEL TO SAVE A PENNY, YOU ARE FOUR CENTS IN THE HOLE
IF YOU LOSE YOUR SHIRT AND PANTS IN A CRAP GAME, DON'T HITCH HIKE HOME
And one that tickled one lady so much that she greets me with the saying everytime she sees me...
ARE WE THERE YET?
Plus from my internet buddies -
CHUCKLING IN THE MORNING LEADS TO LAUGHTER IN THE AFTERNOON
BE ALERT. THE WORLD NEEDS MORE LERTS
Thanks, guys

These are GREAT!! I really like "if you have to spend a nickel to save a penny you are four cents in the hole." I think people forget this one. LOL I wish we could live on graham crackers and cocoa. Mmmmm... xox

Oddly enough, I knew most of them, but they were tucked somewhere in my past. Nice to see those again.
