Wisdom from Grandpa
  • Whether a man winds up with a nest egg, or a goose egg, depends a lot on the kind of chick he marries.

  • Trouble in marriage often starts when a man gets so busy earning his salt that he forgets his sugar.

  • Too many couples marry for better, or for worse, but not for good.

  • When a man marries a woman, they become one; but the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.

  • If a man has enough horse sense to treat his wife like a thoroughbred, she will never turn into an old nag.

  • On anniversaries, the wise husband always forgets the past - but never the present.

  • A foolish husband says to his wife, "Honey, you stick to the washing, ironing, cooking and scrubbing. No wife of mine is going to 'work'."

  • Many girls like to marry a military man.  He can cook, sew, and make beds, is in good health, and is already used to taking orders.

  • Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

  • Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way. I've travelled a long way and some of the roads weren't surfaced.

  • How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?

  • You know you are getting old, when everything either dries up or leaks.

  • Old age is when former classmates are so grey and wrinkled and bald, they don't recognise you.
