…a dollar for every cliche’ that you say… …how rich would I be by the end of the day? ---

You probably wouldn’t be as rich as Croesus, but perhaps you’d have more money than sense. ---

As rich as 6-feet up a bull’s ass? I try to catch myself before I utter them, but you’d probably have enough for dinner off the value menu. ---

There can be 2-3 days in a row when all I say is “good morning”, “hi” and “thanks” if even that. On a gaming night you’d probably be better off billing for pop culture references but I’m sure I toss in a few cliches as well. ---

If you’re a fool, you’d soon be parted from that money. ---

Only a dollar? You’re selling yourself short. In for a penny, in for a pound. ---
