My daddy was a fine man...but not always socially acceptable in his comments lol. 

I remember one of my favorite 'Daddy sayings'..and be forewarned, this one is not generally repeatable in mixed company lol.

My daddy had a mindset about prices.  Everything cost too much.  Didn't matter what it was or the price, it was too much lol.  He remembered when you could buy that for (fill-in-the-blank).  He remembered when he and Mama had 50 cents and they both walked to town and got in to see a movie, had popcorn and a drink.

However he had a saying that he used when things REALLY got out of hand.  Example:  "Hey Daddy, lookit my new shoes, I got 'em on sale, they only cost $9.99."  Daddy's reply, "$9.99?  NINE NINETY NINE!  Why, I wouldn't pay 9.99 to see the Statue of Liberty pee over the Hudson!" LOL

My Daddy...he was a hoot.  In later years, my brother added to this funny story.  After one such occasion, my brother paused...and added..."hmmm...~I~ would pay that, I'd kinda like to see the Statue of Liberty pee over the Hudson...but...I'd wanna be sure of which side of the river to stand on!"

lolol
