11) - Norman thinks the word "bullshiit" is a good word.

reply

12. What "suck face" really meant.

13. To know the difference between "port" and "starboard" when driving a boat through a rocky swamp with my grandpa navigating.

14. Dabney Coleman really had a cheesy mustache.

reply

Norman's house isn't for sale.

Norman's dad is dead...but you should meet him.

A pail of fish is good for putting out fires.


"I am the walrus, Dooku-Ka-Choo"
cheers!

If you're driving up to visit Norman and Ethel, remember the make of your rental car

If Norman yells at you, he's only being "an old lion seeing if he can still roar."

If Norman has a heart attack, consult a directory book for a nearby hospital, because the operator is slow and the numbers 911 aren't legitimate

If you go fishing on the pond, there are only trout and sunfish

If your rental car breaks down often, it's probably a Nash

If you keep forgetting that skinny dipping alone is no fun, remember the grave lesson of shining light on your naked father

If you got to jump off the dock, do the back flip because it's the easiest

If you're seeking an employment opportunity, Ethel makes sure strawberry picking pays handsomely

If Norman hears the warbling of loons, it means he's at peace with himself

If your daughter's boyfriend's a dentist, the filling costs $40

If you're nearing 80, a lesbian is nevertheless likely to have a life that's fuller than yours like Miss Appleby

If Norman doesn't like riding horses, it's because he's Ethel's "knight in shining armor."

If you're trying to renew the bond with your father, you'd dive into the pond and swim to him with clothes on

If you got married in Brussels, it's still legitimate in America

Parchesi is a board game best played at a summer cabin.
You should throw old sheets over your furniture when you're gonna be away for awhile to keep them fresh.
If you're gonna be a mailman, be one where you get to drive a cool boat and only have one house to deliver to.
It's more melodramatic to remain clinging to a rock shivering than it would be to just swim 20 feet or so ashore.
Dont leave flammable newspapers close to a fire you just set.
When Ethel says, "go get some water", it's best to do so instead of staring blankly ahead and watching a fire blaze.

reply

That "Ethel" didn't know how to sing, and probably never could.
That a 13 year old can say the word *beep* constantly in front of an 80 year old.
That you don't wanna shock your guests of the first night by appearing nude after skinny dipping.

reply

That by today's standards, Norman is a verbally abusive old poop who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near children.

reply

You may not be fighting...it could be that you just don't like eachother.

Skinny dipping with relatives is totally ok.

If Hepburn tells you to put somthing under your tongue you better not be an old poop.

To bears, lesbians are a delicacy for dinner.

1.) That turning 80 is twice as bad as turning 40.
2.) That if Norman really did have a lisp, his wife's name is Esel Sayer

Never let a city kid from CA drive your vintage Chris Craft through a rocky cove.
