    My dad (Rest his soul) whenever anyone changed the subject in a conversation used to pipe up, "What's that got to do with the price of eggs?"
    If I asked him what was for dinner he'd invariably say, "Three jumps at the cellar door", even though we never had a cellar.
    Occasionally he'd come out with "**** with sugar on" as an alternative response.

    Anyone got any more?

    If ifs and ands were pots and pans there'd be no work for tinkers hands.
