    I always thought it was "Another Day, another dollar" - (but then again this could almost be counted as an expletive.) I remember times going into work at some job I might have had saying things like "another day another dime" It's a kind of variation on "Mas trabajo, menos dinero!"

    oh god, i'm rolling in the aisles at "can't find your ass with both hands". i didn't know that one.

    i love that the french have "zat's life", while the english say, "c'est la vie".

    :-)
