Comment on San Jose Cochran Frog 🐸

this reminds me of one of my “cowboy phrases”

Im from Texas but I live somewhere else now. My employees laugh at some things I thought were common phrases.

Anyway …

Person: I wish/wanted/hoped (blank)

Me: yeah, and I wish frogs had wings so they didn’t have to bump their ass on the ground when they hopped. Life is full of little disappointments.

My dad always said “‘I see’ said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw.”

  Want to hear another one that isn’t Texan, I think it’s just me?
  
  When someone is hurrying me or being impatient I’ll say
  
  “Chill Vladimir, don’t be Russian”
