"I hate people who generalise, they are all the same "
or
"yer ma's yer da and yer da loves it "
From UrbanDictionary.com
Contrary to popular beleif the term 'yer ma' doesn't actually originate in Scotland. It has been used by many 'spides' or 'steeks' in the beautiful county of Northern Ireland for many many years. As stated above, it is used in a vulgar way when in an argument, when the spide/steek can't think of anything else to say.
Generally it is used to imply that that the spide/steek has had sexual relations with one's mother... but it is usually not the case, since most spides/steeks couldn't get laid if they tried.
"I had yer ma last neet so ah did!"

I also like the following observation by Steven Wright - "If dracula can't see his reflection in the mirror, how come his hair is always so neatly combed?"

Thanks for spotting this wendy. I hope ginger's family appreciates it!
More a 'time managment/risk' quote than a 'live fast die young' one.

Do you know he has an excellent brain, that man... although a little pedestrian.
But oh dear, what a bore the fellow is!
