I worked for years with a guy from Butler, PA. he had a few.

It was always *pop*. We know it as soda.
There was no such thing as a rubber band. It was called a gumband.
And if I showed up late to the jobsite. " Did you poop the bed?" But he used the censored word! :shock:

Boy I taught you everything I know, and you still don't know anything.
I see said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw.
He and I went to different schools together.
Nervous as a long taled cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

"Sufferin' succotash" -- Sylvester, the cat

"I tink I taw a puty tat" -- Tweety, the bird

She's been married so many times she has rice marks on her face.

Even a blind hog will find an acorn now and again.

He's tighter than two coats of paint.

Once you are pickled...you can never be a cucumber again.

I'll hit you so hard, when you come to, your clothes will be out of style.

You can lead a horse to water. but...you can not make him drink.

And one of my favorites...The early bird gets the worm...but, it's the second mouse that gets the cheese.
