I seem to recall some sh1t about a magical (I assume lady), called the tooth fairy who would come and put money under my pillow.

All this whilst being fondled by the Easter bunny....

Dont put new shoes on the table...

Yeah I remember this one. The inference being that old shoes on the table are absolutely fine...?

if you pick your nose your head will cave in.

Apparently that refers to the old days in mining towns. When a miner brought his friends shoes home and put them on the kitchen table it was a sign that he had died at work. or summat like that!

My mum once said to me

'You can't take that swimming cossi because it's still damp. You'll get a chill.'

Going by the thread title, I thought it was going to be about women who've had prosthetic testicular implants.

My mum always used to say if you ever have prosthetic testicular implants don't go out in the cold...something..something...brass monkeys.

I love mum logic.

How about this:

Mum: "Why don't you wear a cycle helmet?"

Me: "Don't want to. Make me hot"

Mum: "Huh, yes, well, you'd be hot, WITH A HEAD INJURY!!!

Wtf?
