DrDanQuotes/sayings that sound good, but when you really analyze them, they don't sound so good
I saw a slogan for an ANG unit that said, "If you ain't Assault Bridge, you ain't shit!" I was relieved to know that I am not excrement. While the contrapositive is "You're shit, therefore you're Assault Bridge," I doubt that is what they intended.

I think the point is that some (many?) feint integrity when people are watching, and are dishonest otherwise. I have worked with people who fit the description.

Air Force ammo troops have the same slogan: IYAAYAS (pronounced "eye-yah-yahs")
"If You Ain't Ammo, You Ain't Shit!"Sometimes it's
"If You Ain't Ammo, You Ain't Special", in more polite/professional settings.

bionic218"It is what it is."
The all time worse no-shit-Sherlock comment ever.
"To tell the truth" or "I'm not going to lie"
Both also irritate me. I can't help but think - so everything else you told me was a lie?

12131"I'm fine" - Patient to doc, when asked how they're doing.
This is a classic. Nine times out of ten, this is what sick patients say. If you're fine, you wouldn't be in the clinic.

Why would you continue to search for it, if you’ve found it?

Sometimes you are perfectly healthy, just there for a check up, annual physical, etc.
The last few years, I have always said, “That’s what we’re here to find out, isn’t it!”
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown March 11, 2018, 09:17 AM

Yes, that is why I specifically mentioned only "sick" patients.

Agree - another variation is 'Violence never solves anything...'
Other than attempted rape, robbery, assault, carjackings, etc...
'youth is wasted on the young' -- i don't know - I had a lot of dang fun when I was in my 20s!
'honesty is the best policy'. yep i been burned by that one. maybe just should have kept my mouth shut.
