"Swank-isms"

"Keep your helmets on, there are alot of woodpeckers flying around."

"You can't make the pros, you're not hurt bad enough."

"My three year old daughter can do better push-ups than that."

"If you can't run with the big dogs, get on the porch with the puppies."

"This isn't Miss Lucy's Ding Dong School."

"If you're not the lead dog the scenery never changes."

"Pick him up and dust him off."

"Coach, THEY told me to do it." "Who is THEY? We'll get the FBI to find out who THEY is!"

“Head for the hills, there’s fungus among us!”
