My son's a truck driver - he says "2 wrongs don't make a right, but 3 left turns will"

My mother's favortie saying was, "Miracles never do cease". I would hear this if I did something more than was asked of me that caught her by surprise. I even use it with my children.

That was better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

I really don't think a poke in the eye with a dull stick would be too good either.
