Yep, those are some mighty fine sayings.

I used to work for a very nice, very straight-laced banker that I think the world of, devout Church of Christ elder - he used to always crack me up when he'd refer to some sort of mishap or misadventure with "That'll knock your d*ck in the dirt."

BTW, my experience is that bankers are not nearly so cold hearted as ex-wives. Just sayin'.
