My dad spouts weird random stuff, too. I’m not sure how much of it he has made up versus gotten from somewhere, but sometimes I’ll hear more of a saying, which makes it make sense. Like when something becomes clear to him, he says, “ ‘I see,’ said the blind man.” It never made any sense but was just one of those things you take in stride as a kid. In recent years, I learned it’s a common saying *with a punchline*: “. . . and then he picked up his hammer and saw.”
