The Dao of My Father-In-Law
My father-in-law is incredibly vulgar. I rather like this. He is never boring. And, while it would easy to mistake him for some semi-crazy hooligan, he does slip up and occasionally make surprisingly lucid, insightful comments. Scarlet and I have joked about collected his sundry sayings in to book.
For example, his assessment of the current economy:
"If I were selling fresh pussy for a dollar and I was a buyer, I still wouldn't be making any fucking money. I'm not selling shit, it's the worst it's ever been."
On persistence:
"If you throw enough shit at a wall, some of it will stick."
On bad luck:
"If it was raining pussy, a dick would hit me in the face."
On moving a house:
"You're fucking nuts. You could build a nice, new house for that much money. Are you crazy?"
See, words of wisdom.

Yeah. I've had people tell me to "haul in a trailer" rather than build my little timber framed cabin.
Eff 'em.
It is a good thing that you are amused by your FIL. Hope your weekend is relaxing and fun.
Ha! I have a father-in-law just like that! He's a riot to have around.
Oh, John, I laughed SO hard at the things your FIL said. He sounds quite the character, and you are right -- he would never be boring!
I have heard the comment on persistence... I just can't remember where I've heard it!
