Along with the "I'll give you something to cry about", my dad had a few good ones when my two brothers and I were growing up.
Anything said that began with "Hey," dad would always say "Hay? Straw is cheaper, grass is free...dontcha wish you were a cow?"
Whenever one of us asked where he/we were going, he'd always say "Elephant hunting"....that would shut us up for a few minutes while we pondered the idea.
If I didn't want to get out of bed, I usually always heard about his Army service and what they'd do to someone who didn't jump right out of bed.
And of course he ALWAYS said, and still does, "Oh, that cow's just bluffing, she won't hit you".....come to think of it, I haven't heard him say that for a couple years, since the last time I helped him get up and dust cow tracks off his back.
Grandad had a few too, but the one I remember most that he said, whenever he was in a hurry to get on with something(which was always) was "Time's a-wastin'"
Not something my dad said, but something I read once that sure applied to my dad and granddad both, is "There are three ways to do something. The easy way, the hard way, and Dad's way, which makes the hard way look plum simple".
