“Be kind to the people you meet on the way up, because you’re going to meet the same people on the way down.”

 

-Ralph Kramden on The Honeymooners

 

Going from memory a quote from Ralph's best friend:

 

When the tides of life are against you and the current upsets your boat - don't waste your time on what might have been, just lay on your back and float.

Take a sh1t or get off the potty 

Always thought it was:

 

"Piss or get off the pot."

 

In reference to the outhouse days. Most certainly one didn't run outside at every little urge... That's when the chamber pot came in handy... Especially during inclement weather... And had to be shared amongst different members of the house.

I thought it was sh*t or get off the pot.  That's how I have always said it.

Who says one is sitting?   One can be on something while standing or sitting.  Nothing wrong with either. 

 

Well, "get off the pot," would mean one is ON the pot ... hence, sitting.

Considering Chamber Pots were the precursor to toilets, I agree with Gugny. 

Not so much the precursor, but toilets existed in conjunction with pots...Going back to the Romans and Greeks and other cultures...

 

Anyway... @Gugny is wrong:

Then there are the uncut guys out there since antiquity... They probably have a few words for Gug's narrow view of the world. 😆

There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary numbers and those who don't.

Don't ask for guarantees. And don't look to be saved in any one thing, person, machine, or library. Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were heading for shore. ~Ray Bradbury

I never criticize someone until I've walked a mile in their shoes.  Once I have I can say whatever I want because I'm a mile away from them...and I have their shoes.

 

Everyone's got a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

 

I don't discriminate.  I'll treat all the same: like *****.

“Jedi do not fight for peace. That's only a slogan, and is as misleading as slogans always are. Jedi fight for civilization, because only civilization creates peace. We fight for justice because justice is the fundamental bedrock of civilization: an unjust civilization is built upon sand.
