My Dad was witty (r.i.p. Dad)...and he used to dress like a bum...patched clothes.
He would pick up trash on the highway with a stick, a nail in the end.
One day these people stopped for directions...where is this, where is that...every question he said I dunno.
Finally the guy says "you don't know much, do you?". Dad says " I know one thing...I ain't lost!".
Another time a guy stops, starts up a conversation, then says "I heard a rich old woman lives down that road". Dad said "she sure does, and she lets me sleep with her once in a while".

I could care less, well I COULDN'T care less...
People tell me that I'm rude for not saying "bless you" when someone sneezes. To me it's no different than coughing, sniffling, blowing your nose, or whatever other thing you do. Am I supposed to bless you for that too? Nope, just sneezing.

If there's anything I can for you let me know. In my lifetime I don't think anyone has ever let them know.

It is a form of sarcasm. "What happens is, at the end of the day" I get it. I snuck 2 of my pet peeves into that one. Have a nice day and thank you for your service.:laughing:

Jaylegger. My Dad says that. Just don't let the request be about money and something he would not approve of.
I love it when someone else is in control, makes you wait, and then thanks you for your patience.

Supposedly your heart stops when you sneeze. I do find it awkward to say as well though.
Edit-i looked it up. The heart stopping thing was just an incorrect rumor. Apparently the Pope came up with God bless you.

When people say to me, "how you doing," I sometimes answer "excellent, wait that's not right I haven't been excellent for a long time. Yesterday I was good but today I think I dropped down to just fine. I hope tomorrow is better, how are you?"
