Money is the root of all evil. (I seriously disagree with this one!)

I caught crap for having this on a sign in my lab way back when.

"Doing a good job around here is like pissing in your wetsuit. You get a nice warm feeling all over but noone else notices"



Oooh, that reminds me of one of my favorites. (Thank you, Judge Judy.)

"Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining."

And a Danish saying which I've found very applicable to today's politics: "Pissing in your pants only warms you for a little while."

Or in the same vein among Pagans: "Is Gardner Wiccan? Do witches dance in the woods?"
