Here in Michigan "It's colder than a dead Eskimo's ass"! (Saying was stolen from my Uncle)

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

Had that sign in my office for many years,

Doesn't know if his ******* was punched, bored, or nibbled out by a mouse.

The title is "your best saying", so I'll pick one that I seem to say often since people typically overthink decisions as if they're going to be here forever (does not pertain to most boaters lol) or they try to live 100% risk-free.

"Nobody's gettin' out alive..."

Some others I enjoy using:

"Even a blind dog hits the hydrant every once in a while." -

"Rock, be rocked, or get the hell outta the way." - obvious enough

"Ah... each day better than the next..." - from Something About Mary... when someone asks how you've been... usually goes right over their head.

You gotta pay to play. - obvious boating expression

"Your ambition exceeded your talent." - from Casey Stoner after Valentino Rossi wiped him out in a corner

"Early worm gets the bird!" - for those folks whose impatience and rush gets their azz in a sling

"It's hotter than a whore's bed on dollar night!" -

Favorite of an older fellow I used to work with
If there's anything that burns my azz it's a blowtorch held up close

'Work Smart not Hard'
'Let the tool do the work'
'Ease it Bud'
'Land it'
'Hang on tight'
'Rum Dummy'
'Oh for Crying out Loud'

"Every day is a gift.... that's why it's called the Present" .... my Grandmother taught me that....

Good one for the women folk:

If at first you don't succeed keep sucking until you do suck seed.

If It's To Loud.... Then Your To OLD

You can have Fast, Cheap & Reliable.... Pick TWO
