Stuff you don't really hear

We've all heard the backhanded comment, "this neighborhood's gone to hell," but when's the last time you heard of a neighborhood going to heaven?

I can't wait to hear someone muse, "Technology is moving so slow these days."

Or maybe, "It never comes down to money."

"The shit missed the fan."

"The trouble with kids these days is that they grow up too slow."

I have heard this one before, but rarely: "Kids have it tougher today, than we did."

"The sure miss kid."

I met a singer once who was always compared to Bob Dylan. "This guy is the second coming of Bob Dylan," the review would say. "Oh, yeah, sounds like Dylan." "The second coming." On and on the reviews would go. Finally this guy, Dan Bern, said in an interview, "How do you know the Bob Dylan wasn't the 'first coming' of Dan Bern?"

It is a very rare day when you hear someone call a mean guy a nice guy.

And it probably won't surprise you, but most times when a person is really tall, they are not referred to as short.
