It made me smile and think of my parents when Doc Creed posted in the Ka-tet Cantina, about something his dad always used to say.
My dad used to always ask if we worked for the electric company when we left a light on in a room. You could set your warrant on it. Your watch too.
What catch phrases did your parents use, or do you use? My mom had a few, most of them mixed metaphors, but informative in their own ways.Reminds me of when my dad was alive, when there was heavy traffic he'd say "who left the gate open?!"
