SILLY SAYINGS DAY

The Waters Wake Up Call with Mike Waters · Mon Oct 16, 2023

Who used all the Wi-Fi?

Ah, apartment life.

Bad Wi-Fi, mystery laundry piles, and a roommate who says, I'll Venmo you.

Maybe 2027 deserves an upgrade.

Coming August 2027, Four Lakes Properties introduces the brand new Union Station Apartments, furnished in-unit washer and dryer.

Internet included a great central downtown location, one to five bedroom apartments, and no double occupancy fees.

That's less adulting and more actually enjoying where you live.

Union Station Apartments, now leasing from Four Lakes Properties.

Wait, we have a washer and dryer in the apartment?

Hey,

how are you?

Mike Waters in from the Waters Wake Up Call.

Monday morning, what better day to celebrate something called Silly Sayings Day?

So we were, I guess, saying silly things and silly sayings, and you know the silly sayings, like, don't spill the beans, don't let the cat out of the bag, nods as good as a wink to a blind bat.

I like the cut of your jib, which is really, really sounds crazy.

And I found out what that means today.

Because usually when you say, I don't like the cut of your jib.

You don't like them very much or they don't dress well.

You just, you don't think much of the person at all.

Well, in the 17th century, the shape of the jib sale often identified a vessel's nationality and whether it was hostile or friendly.

So that's where it originated.

But let's get some more examples of some silly

Okay, well it's good to have a silly saying that we can define and know the origin of trailer parks in eastern Iowa.

All right, well watch watch out for the monkey today.

All right

You be careful.

I honestly think that DoorDash should start selling DoorDash jeans and have a special little DoorDash DoorDash.

I'll make a note.

If you're going with silly things, you have to look at Yogi Berra.

He is the poster boy for what we're talking about today.

Absolutely.

Yes, he is.

That's right.

The game isn't over until it's over.

Oh, did I take yours?

I got plenty of them.

Give me another one.

Give me another Berra.

Well, he says like it's like deja vu all over again.

Yeah.

Or you can observe a lot just by watching.

It's kind of like we need to get a little silly.

Oh, it's always good to be silly.

Yeah, it's National Silly Sayings Day.

Do you have one?

What's your favorite one?

You know, I think my favorite one is instead of did you eat?

Midwesterners always say jeet.

So jeet.

And you know, I've actually been involved in a conversation that goes, hey jeet.

No, jeweets?

No, squeets!

So jeet, jeweet, squeets.

Okay.

So have you ever used that jeet?

That sounds like the way I grew up.

I understand it.

Yeah, yeah, all Midwesterners know what jeet, jeweet, and squeet mean.

I got it,

yeah.

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

I've never heard that.

There are so many.

Horse, silly sayings.

You

can lay the horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

Yeah, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Straight from the horse's mouth.

Horse feathers, get off your high horse.

What's up with horses and silly sayings?

I guess horsing around, it's silly.

I think my golden life is just not to be a horse's ass.

Giddy up.

Gotta go, man!

Hey, hold your horses, will ya?

There you go!

You're none of the fruit cakes

in a cherry blossom tree!

Fruit cake, and I've never heard the addition of the cherry blossom tree.

You're nuttier than a fruit cake in a cherry blossom tree.

I think that's you.

Yeah.

You know, actually, I'd add something to that with you in mind.

Okay.

You're nuttier than a fruit cake in a cherry blossom tree out of season.

Hey, yeah, that's good.

I'm sitting here drinking vodka listening to you.

Then you're drinking vodka waters.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Have you heard this one?

That ain't worth a popcorn fart.

One more time.

It's a little slower.

That ain't worth a popcorn fart.

That ain't worth a popcorn fart?

Yeah.

I've never heard that.

Where did that come from?

Oh,

the Roger Burns used to say that to me when I was a group.

They have an hate for him.

Roger Burns?

Roger Burns.

I'll never eat popcorn

again.

So

hard out there.

It's like a cow pissing on a flat rock.

You know, I've heard that and it makes... I don't know.

It doesn't really make sense,

does it?

Oh, yes it does.

Okay.

We were dairy, we melted, man.

When they let it go, man, it was like that.

Okay, so you never milked a cow on a flat rock?

Oh, no.

Well, here it is.

When you're standing in a barn and it's cement, that's close enough.

Okay, all right.

That would qualify as a flat rock, so yes, okay.

I've

never heard that, but that is silly and kind of

funny.

There's

one I've never heard.

I'm

not really much of a fisherman, so I guess I'm not surprised that I've not ever heard that, but... If you're fishing all day, you're gonna tell lies about the size of fish you caught.

A fish story has become synonymous with lies, so that makes sense.

If you want to catch a fish, you gotta drink like a

fish.

Weekday mornings, 5 30 to

10.
