Memorable Quotes! - Page 3

Several years ago while teching in a well known racer's S/S car I noticed the front bumper was quite thin. In fact it was so thin I could bend it. When questioned about the condition of the front bumper the racer replied in his slow southern drawl ...

"Guess I must've laid it too close to the sea shore."

Amazingly he was able to produce a correct bumper in a very short time.

Bob Gliden told a buddy of mine who was looking for advice on his 351 Cleveland,

"the way to keep your cleveland from comming apart, don't start it"

I thought that was classic.

As my good friend Gale Pinkston always says, " If if's and buts were candy and nuts everyone would have a merry christmas." Or another good one from my friend Jim Cimarolli , " Richer than 4 foot up a bull's ***."

I don't know who the funny car driver was, but after what appeared that his car was broke because it did not launch, his statement later was something like " I just sat there looking at the green and I did'nt want to have the worst reaction time in history, so I acted like I broke"

"That legal"? "Do fat dogs fart"?

Middle of a thrash to get back together..."get out of the way, I'm busier than a one legged midget in an *** kicking contest"

And the classic "my engine is connecting rod challenged" answered by "yup, that was a case of R.E.D. Rapid Engine Dissassembly"

During a rain delay at the local races, a young racer joining in a bull session with a bunch of racers while sitting in my R/V, and said in all seriousness :

" Yep, I've been working on my car hard lately, It'll REALLY run the number now.........................
......( a much lower tone ).....................I just don't always know what the number is "

After our laughter, we helped him realize thats the whole game.

Here are a few I like:

"I tried to get in touch with my femanine side but unfortunately, I got a yeast infection"

"God gave man a brain and a penis...but only enough blood to run one at a time"

"It takes 42 muscles to frown but only 4 to pull the trigger of a decent snipper gun"

"Your either born smart or born stupid, education just cures ignorance."

"At least half of the people in the world are below average." If you need explanation of this, your in the lower half.
