What was the most nonsensical saying you have ever heard?
'When a person is dead, they're dead as a cow'.
You are not lost if you know where your standing.
“I’m working on fine tuning my entire body to be a didgeridoo.” Person then proceeds to make didgeridoo sounds.
It’s a quote from New Zealand Today. It’s a satirical news program by Guy Williams. He interviews some of the most random people imaginable.
''Everything will be solved on its own''.
My father always used to say this, “the barefooted boy with boots on, sat standing on the grass.”
"Pleasing odor" (One of my college freshman students used that term once in a research paper.)
"A little bit of bad credit history won't really hurt you." (Just try getting a mortgage at a desirable APR with "a little bit of bad credit history" and see what happens.)
“Before you marry a person, you should first make them use a computer with slow Internet to see who they really are.” (Or try commenting on Hubpages.)
—Will Ferrell
This old poem is said to be by Tyler Rager but it's probably misattributed. It's estimated to be from the early 1900s or earlier. It is one of the sillier things I've ever heard.
Two Dead Boys
Ladies and gentleman skinny and stout
I'll tell you a tale I know nothing about
The admission is free so pay at the door
Now pull up a chair and sit on the floor
One bright day in the middle of night
Two dead boys got up to fight
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other
The blind man came to see fair play
The mute man came to shout 'hooray!'
The deaf policeman heard the noise
And came to stop the two dead boys
He lived on the corner in the middle of a block
In a two-story house on a vacant lot
A legless man came walking by
And kicked the lawman in the thigh
He crashed through a wall without making a sound
Into a dry creek bed and suddenly drowned
A long black hearse came to cart him away
But he ran for his life and is still gone today
I watched from the corner of a big round table
The only eyewitness to facts of my fable
But if you doubt that my lies are true
Just ask the blind man, as he saw it too
Years ago, a wise person told me to "make haste slowly."

But if you look on Twitter, it's celebrities who have all the followers....

I was teaching Brit lit to my seniors. A fellow teacher/friend came in and told me about the first attack, and we all thought it was a tragic accident. Then he came back to tell me about the second plane. All the teachers turned on their TVs and regular teaching pretty much shut down. Hubby was...
