My best friends granny used to say this when she knew she was hearing a lie or someone full of it:

"That's Your Tale, I Sit On Mine!"

I still ❤️ it!

my father's-

That quarter (or any amount of $) is burning a hole in her pocket.

That one just got up and walked off the plate. (referring to when some beans were actually insects in the army)-yick!

If next years a good year... and he would add anything like we'll get you some dinner, or you can have a drink of water, especially when some one of us was waiting for dinner or hadn't gotten a drink yet.

We thought that was funny.

That was good. What there was of it. (referring to a meal).

A lot of these came from his real experiences in the army.

I also like "No good deed goes unpunished", which I have used on occasion.

And "Speak the Truth and Shame the Devil!"
