My favorite saying is Your Mom. Whatever anyone says to me, "Your Mom" seems to fit, except of course when it's my brother.
Thanks!

My favorite funny saying is from my dad. "You can't shine up a turd" He usually uses it in reference to someone's poor choice in a boyfriend or girlfriend once that person realizes their "ex" probably wasn't the best choice

I really can't think of a funny saying or a quote, they're come quite spontaneous to me... But I was laughing the other day when my friend was saying "As I said before, I NEVER repeat myself." I love oxymorons...And then people go "What kind of morons?!?"
Adore your clutches and this is no joke! I follow via Google Friend Connect!
I follow! My favourite joke is "Two bears in the bath... one says to the other, "pass me the soap?" and the other one says "what do you think I am, a typewriter?". Hysterical.
Have a lovely day!
My favourite saying:
Don't assume malice for what stupidity can explain.
It sounds really cynical but it stops you from taking every mis-spoken word as a personal affront.
I heart the leather clutch purse peacock feathers

Hi Rowena!
I follow your blog via Google Reader.
I'd seen the following on my colleague's Facebook wall, and wondered where it was from; apparently by Groucho Marx:
Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.

I think it's quite hilarious!

One of my favorite sayings is "The road to hell is paved with good intentions". So true!
My favorite joke is one I'm sure EVERYONE has heard, but just in case...
A pirate walks into a bar, and the barkeep says "Excuse me, cap'n, but did you know that you've got your ship's wheel stuck in your pantaloons?"
"Aye," says the pirate, "that thing be drivin' me nuts! Aaargh!"

I'm bad with jokes, but my favorite quote is from Anais Nin:

Albert Einstein: "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
Hmm. One of my favorite lately is for my step daughter who picks some of the most shady characters for friends:
"If you fish in the toilet, what are you going to catch?"
