I LOVE these. Funnier the longer I think about them. Almost serious or useful then just completely out of left field.

I actually thought I made up the "I'll burn that bridge when I get to it." Kind of sad to see others knew of it.

Another one I think I made up is...

"Bob's your cousin."

I don't get the cousin part. "Bob's your uncle" sure, but what's the other half?

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

That's it. Just pointing out that Bob's a relative may be good enough.

And Robert's your father's brother.
