"Inspirational Phrases' That Aren't….......

@Chris:

I'm sure my younger self be slightly horrified at how easily I've turned into my parents.

We all do to some extent. The big difference I've achieved is being home for dinner and bedtime 9/10 days. That's a vast improvement on my father who came home from work late on Friday and then left early on Sunday.

Just to lighten the tone again, here's some really vacuous shite published by one of my Facebook "friends"  :

[Dion]

''Pain is temporary, pride is forever.''

[louisbosco]

@JCMx800:

Pain is just weakness leaving the body.

my unit's commanding officer used to use this line a lot during a long exercise when we'd be in the field 5-6 days at a time.. and the other one was "the only easy day was yesterday". needless to say he was a US ranger-trained special forces commando.

The name of comedian Margaret Cho s' show- There is no ' I ' in team but there is a cho in  psycho

And Sarah Silverman-"When God gives you AIDS make lemonaids."

[Dion]

Silverman being tasteless as usual…

[BloodnThunder]

@JCMx800:

Pain is just weakness leaving the body.

This^

Especially when it seems like the individuals wearing shirts with the slogan have a lot of weakness.

Problems are just opportunities for improvement…...this is part of my company charter (American owned).

@Megatron1505:

(American owned).

Obviously.

[Giles]

Is "American Owned" the inspirational phrase that isn't….

My mother used to say to me "If you want sympathy it's in the dictionary between shit and syphilis" Heard that a lot growing up.

My dad used to smack me in the back of head and say "Use your head for more than a hatrack son".

Here's one I can get behind:

[Graeme]

My favourite has to be a line trotted out about the Australian property market: "If young people didn't spend all their money on iPhones / holidays / beer / cars / Iron Heart denim, and were less entitled, they could afford to buy a house."

This neglects the fact that the average house in Sydney is now over a million dollars, or around seventeen times the median salary. As a comparison, new apartments in Tokyo were about eighteen times median salary in 1989, at the height of their bubble. OK, it's not a like-for-like comparison, but it gives an idea of the magnitude of the affordability problem. :o

growing up, every time i left the house, my dad would say:

"be good, and if you cant be good be careful, and if you cant be careful name it after me."

i still say it. RIP dad.

another i say frequently

"The only thing thats Absolut(e implied) comes in a bottle"
