ALISMS

It has been over a month now since Dad moved to Wyoming. After seeing him this past weekend I started thinking about some of the things that I've heard him say over and over throughout the years. I thought I'd make a list (because that's what I do!). Some may have only been heard by family, but I'm sure that most people who have had the opportunity to talk with (or at least listen to) my dad will recognize some of them. :)

Take a look and see how many you've heard:

"He's got more talent in his little finger than most people."
"I'd like to introduce you to my first ex-wife Pat."
"I didn't win the Lotto."
"I gave Pat $5 for Christmas so she could buy herself something nice."
"I don't go out on New Year's Eve because of the amateur drunks."
"Go Buddy!"
"He gets paid by the hour."
"It's just like it only different."
"Have you been good?"
"I'm going to filter that through my eyelids."
"If you can't come see us write."
"Home..where you can scratch it wherever it itches."
"Is that free information or do I have to pay for it?"
"I feel more like I do now than I did before."
"I got shots for that before I started Newgulf Elementary."
"Does he know me?"
"Is anybody watching what I'm doing?"
"I'm not even in my Frito truck!"
"We're gonna get lost!"
"Aw hell!"
"I had more money on my paper route than I do now."
"Everyone should own a Ford, own a boat, and see an opera, once."
"I'm going to go back to work and rest."
"He started out slow and then tapered off."
"I started out with nothing and I've got most of it left."
On stray animals: "He's a walk-on who joined the team."
Ask him if he needs anything: "I'll take $100,000 in twenties."
On appearances: "I'll get runner-up."

I love you Dad!
