My Grandmother had a saying....

[charlotte49er]

If something doesn't work, hit it with a hammer!

My Grandfather came home for lunch one day, to find her hitting the washing machine with a hammer because it didn't work. He discovered it had become unplugged!

My Ex-Fiancée had a pickup truck that had a sticky solenoid in the starter. When it didn't start, I would pop the hood, take a hammer, hit the starter 5 or 6 times and it would start right up. (Eventually, I got tired of this and just had the starter replaced.)

Last night at exactly 11:00PM the smoke detector in the hallway started to "BEEP" every 5 minutes! I barely got any sleep! This morning all was well! (I thought it was the alarm system.)

Tonight, at exactly 11:00PM, It started Beeping again! I'm NOT losing sleep 2 nights in a row! EVERY Friggin' 5 minutes, BEEP!

So I remembered what my old Granny used to say. "Hit it with a hammer!"

My hammer won't reach, but I have a 4 foot long, dow rod! I took that rod and whacked the smoke detector! Now it's just hanging from some wires, but it stopped it's infernal Beeping! :p

My Grandma would say "If you don't like the smell, don't eat turnips with beans."

Maybe it also detects Carbon Monoxide

& Now that you broke it because of some horrible advice

You might be getting some sleep....Permanently

My grandmother used to say "You should introduce yourself before you *** a stranger in the ass."

My grandpa used to always say, "My feets a smellin' and my nose's a runnin'..."

[The Saltman]

My Grandfather used to say "If you can put your dick in it you can marry it too"

My Grandfather used to say "If you can put your dick in it you can marry it too"

So he was pro-gay marriage...

This mother would say ... change the damn batteries.

So I called a neighbor and he came over with a stool. But it wasn't tall enougt to change out the battery. So he went and got another neighbor who had a taller stool.

So here's my 73 year old house keeper laughing her ass off, at the site of 3 adult males trying to change out 1, 9 volt battery! :rolleyes:

And then tonight, it dawns on me. We should have changed out the other 2, because sure as poo, they will die soon! :lol:

How many men does it take to change a battery?

(If I have a man handy, I don't need no stinkin' batteries. ;) )
