My grandfather had tons of sayings, but the ones I still use...
you are a ball lost in tall weeds
if the bear hadn't stopped to take a crap, he'd have caught the rabbit
blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while
use your head for something other than a hat rack
"It ain't rocket surgery"
(Likely a paraphrase) "Hanging in the air in exactly the way gold bricks don't" -Douglas Adams
"She told me again she preferred handsome men, but for me, she would make an exception"-Leonard Cohen
(Also likely a paraphrase) "It is better to keep your mouth shut and let a man think you a complete fool than it is to open it and remove all doubt"- Mark Twain (S.C., as you wish)
"Constipation of the brain, diarrhea of the mouth"- My Father
"No good deed goes unpunished" -Also My Father. (Note, he likely got these last two from somewhere like the Air Force, but that's where I heard them)
