Elen, I love the closed mouth one too! My mom is a wealth of sayings! I am gonna have to think about this for a bit cause I have a whole load of them! My best friend gets such a kick out of me, cause I always pull a good one out. By the way, your avatar is gorgeous! I love the kitty's markings, so beautiful!

In the south they are famous for some funny sayings...one of my favorites is to describe food (any kind - bbq, grits, pecan pie) that is so good it will make you "slap your granny!". Another good one is when a kid is bad, "his momma will snatch him bald headed"!
One I have heard and use often is "I'll burn that bridge when I get to it"...my friends tell me I use lots of funny sayings but these are just the few that pop into my mind at the moment.

Mine is a little silly and means nothing when you look into the truth of life - but my oldest son is starting to ask "Why?" He is only 2 1/2 so after repeated attempts at explaining "why" I have finally settled on
"Because it has a long tail."
Until he grows a little, anyways :). Don't know where I heard it but - well a "Y" does have a long tail lol.
