Moormanisms Ira E. Moorman

One thing about the squirrels. They’re not as nutty as you might think. They’re always trying to bury a few.

..........
If a person has a wrong or rotten deed done to him, not much of anything is gained by 
trying to get even. Actually, I think one should get more than even. ..........

Someone told me he didn’t understand why I wanted a two acre pond. If a duck lands, I want him to have room to turn around.

..........
Many ask me what I am going to stock my pond with. Actually, it ain’t stock. I have sent 
a telegram to Florida for alligators.

.......... 

At a ball game recently someone stated that it was the bottom of the fifth. I never drank that much at a game.

..........
What was his name, I was asked. I said he still had the same name.

..........
I passed a truck and on that truck was a sign and that sign stated that this vehicle paid $3,248 in 
road tax. My vehicle pays none. I pay it.

..........
A dog that has a short tail should not chase it. (This is an original but I haven’t figured 
out its deeper meaning yet. If you know, please contact me.) ..........

A man and I were working on traps, and after an hour’s time we completed our task. He told me to come and see us. I told him I already have.

..........
Someone has stole most of my work tools. Anyone that steals something to work with 
ain’t got much sense.
