Communism is just over the horizon.
You can't fight evil with a macaroni duck.
My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.
You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think.
Yeah, it's been a long fucking day, and Curly hasn't killed anybody yet.....

This is the most confusing one, is it perchance a personal euphemism of yours meaning, to have sex ? :unsure:

No, that one was not a popular saying. It's a paraphrase of a great quote from City Slickers, but I've had a long day, and I haven't killed anyone yet.

Classic
"The reason the American Army does so well in wartime, is that war is chaos, and the American Army practices it on a daily basis."
"One of the serious problems in planning the fight against American doctrine, is that the Americans do not read their manuals, nor do they feel any obligation to follow their doctrine..."
"How is the enemy supposed to know what we're doing, when we dont."
Always liked these.

I never got the humor of that one.
Of course you didn't, comrade.
It is amazing how obscure some of these "popular sayings" are.
I've only ever heard Ronald Reagan saying the "outlaw Russia" one, for instance. But, then, maybe it is a popular saying somewhere in the country or world that I have never been.
The made-up quotes from "former enemies" (sometimes Soviet defectors, sometimes WW2 POWs) about chaos and doctrine are funny inside jokes for military types, but I've never heard them used "popularly."
Need more Dorothy-Parkerisms, and we need to make them more popular.
"If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to."
"I've been fucking busy, and vice-versa."
"Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone."
