"Do something...even if it's wrong..."

"ummm, sorry, I think I have a nose pick to go to..." (in jest, to excuse himself from something he is NOT interested in.)

"Nice guys finish last."  (from woe is me-isms/ philosophy on love, circa 30's and 40's (age not year!)

"well, sometimes, you have to let them flop around a little bit" (classic Smith advice when dealing with women...to explain/ remedy a many a situation, post 40's..."

"It's an epicurean delight!" (good food)

"he/she isn't the sharpest tool in the shed"

"I'm surprised no one got hurt in this mess." (typical morning response upon waking up after a festive evening with family and friends)

Mark in the Marketplace:

"You can't afford it until you buy it"
which then eventually rolls over into:
"Buy high, sell low"
which is what happens when he decides to sell something, or if someone else needs it.

When Mark forgets what he was going to say, it immediatly..."Must have been a lie."

when observing young children behaving badly, "yeap...I like kids...bbqed." (term of endearment)

"uhhhh, I have to go reprimer the Jeep" (to get outta something he doesn't want to do or talk about anymore)

"Only you, me and the great God of Model Airplanes  will know."

“Measure with a micrometer, mark with chalk, and cut with an axe”

During his 30's and early 40's: "In a hundred years, who's gonna know?"
During his late 40's and early 50's:  "In a thousand years, who's gonna know?
Now: "In a million years, who's gonna know?"

"oh yea, I played too much baseball last night" During his late 30's and early 40's to explain alleged hangovers...

"I'll sleep when I'm dead" (not so funny anymore- but it used to be used to explain Mark's tireless energy and the obsessive way he never stops working)
