"You can sit around at home till Doomsday and the prices at the pumps will stay fairly low, incessantly tempting you to travel. But the moment you decide to take off somewhere and head out on your trip, the price for a gallon of gas will go right through the roof!"
Gas-prices seemed fairly "stable" all summer, and so I delayed a road-trip for a while to "save up" or "accumulate" a number of errands so that hopefully my trip would be more cost-effective with regards to gas-consumption, but then when I stopped to fill up my tank in the morning when I was first heading out, the price had suddenly jumped over a quarter higher per gallon! Sounds like a classic case of "Murphy's Law of Gasoline Prices" to me!

What da Tin Woodman had a number of when he was a regular flesh-and-bone dude, and which resulted in da subsequent metallic status of his physique.
I don't have very good balance or hand-eye coordination, so to avoid axcidents, I always just stick to bow-saws when cutting firewood or otherwise working with trees.

If your little one asks you "The Question", you can semi-clearly utter, "Philippian tubes" and show him/her a map of the northern-Aegean-Sea area. That way, you are giving an essentially-truthful answer, while still "keeping the conversation G-rated" --- i.e., without divulging any actual "adult-themed" info. Plus said youngster will likely become either bored or "info-overloaded" while staring at the map, and thus will forget about his/her original question.

Stealing cars is totally "low-down" as it is, but to HIGHjack one is really insane, since LOWjack will allow da fuzz to find you every time. :P

A wealthy and obsessively-eccentric British-Indian sculptor who spends huge sums to purchase all of the raven-hued pigments in his entire area so that nobody else can color anything with it.
Anish Karich states da exact opposite of da "tin Lizzy tycoon" --- "You can have any color, as long as it ISN'T black."
