Haha, That's cracking me up!

I like the ones in my signature. I will probably go nuts now trying to remember all the ones I like!

I have a little plaque that says, "I cleaned last week. Too bad you missed it."

I gave my mom and dad one years ago that says, "A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers."

I gave my mom a cute plaque that said, "Today's menu: __Take it __Leave it."

A funny plaque that my mom had that was a paraphrase of a famous Clint Eastwood movie quote had a Spuds Mackenzie look-alike dog on it, and it said, "Go ahead. Make my bed!"

I have seen several versions of a quote I really like by Henry Ford (No one seems to be sure of the exact quote): "If you think you can or can't, you're probably right."
