When ushering someone offensive out the door,

"Here's your hat, what's your hurry."

Or   "Dont let the door hit your ass on the way out!"
I say I would like to help you out..
 Which way did you come in ?

Or  "Tell your story walking mate"

My Dad used to say to me as a teen when leaving the house:

"Don't go away mad, just go away!"

Now, I say it to our daughter!!

Speaking of farts..
 Pretty good sound for a 1/2 inch speaker...
Your voice has changed , but your breath is still the same..

Another thing people used to say here if you were very fast or productive.. highball...
Like highball logging show... or them highball construction guys..

About as welcomed as a fart in church.
Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.
