Worst adage, proverb

The BBQ Pit
#1

or pithy words of limited wisdom to live by.

“If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” This string of nonsense is the chalk on the blackboard of comebacks–an Okie-aphorism in which the user, a corn and pabulum fed intellectual slacker, presumes to be delivering a witty gag order because, alas, that is what he was told by his parents.

You know who you are. The next time you insist on revealing your proximity to the missing link, just drop your pants and put a lamp shade on your head. And, remember this–fuck off.

You know, Pooch, if you don’t have anything nice to say, you really shouldn’t say anything at all.

Nothing ever justfies the means except the ends. Doofuses! They’re everywhere!

If both of these crapola lines are true , the obvious conclusion comes straight off a button I own, to whit:

It matters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose.

Sure Wally, if it’s made of good paper stock, I can make a nifty toy boat out of it.
