we used to get a bi-monthly news paper on the ranch called the Hereford news, full of cattle info. On the back, they always posted interviews with several ranchers.
One month one of the questions was to list thier best advice. three of the four gave some great commentary on raising cattle, feed options, calving, etc.
The fourth said "Forty years ago I gave up on women, and I've been happy ever since."
My dad cut it out, framed it, and stuck it on the fridge.
Other great Dad'isms
"If you find a girl you think you might like, always meet her mom early on cuz in twenty years, thats what your going to be stuck with"
When I got my girlfriend pregnant: "I guess you found out that thing is for more than just peein, didn't ya?"
"Keep your toes out"
"Don't squat with your spurs on"
