...but still think it? Flashback to childhood-
* "It takes one to know one."
* "Liar, liar, pants on fire... (something hanging on a telephone wire)."
* "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."
Ah.. wasn't it bliss to have such a warped childhood? Can anybody come up with a few more?
i know you are, but what am I??
he who smelt it dealt it
"I know you are, but what am I?" <--that was my favorite
And I vaguely remember something about rubber and glue??

whoever denied it, supplied it
"I'm rubber and you're glue. What you say bounces off me and sticks to you."
"I've seen Paris. I've seen France. I've seen So&so's underpants!"(To be honest, I learned this as a teen. Sheltered, I know)
My DD is learning the flute and playing Battle Hymn of the Republic - she was shocked when I sang along with these words..
We have tortured all the teachers - we have broken all the rules
We have barbequed the principal, and burned the PTA
And the janitors are on our side "OUR SIDE"!!
Glory, glory, hallelujah
My teacher hit me with a ruler
Hid behind the door with a loaded .44
And teacher taught "NO MORE"!
Innocent youths way back when - We used to sing this at the end of every school year - now days, we'd be arrested...

I remember that one. Do you remember this one?
"Tra la la boom de ay
My teacher passed away
We through her in the bay
The sharks had lunch today."
This is an A B conversation so C your way out of it. :)
(Can be extended to "This is an A B conversation so C your way out of it before D and E come F you up, G" >.<)
I, again vaguely, remember a song we used to sing....something about cutting off our teachers head and flushing it down the toilet?? Sounds pretty terrible now. Wow, my memory is bad.
You are never too old for the rubber/glue metaphor.
We also had a song, something like
"Joy to the world, the teachers dead
We Bar B Qued her head.
Son't worry about the body,
We flushed it down the potty
Arround and around it goes
Around and around it goes..."
Sung to "Joy to the World" of course.
Up your nose with a furlined eggbeater.
my mother taught me that, it doesn't make any sense, but the visual does give one pause. 
beans beans the magical fruit :)

^^^ that's IT!!! boy, was I off. Sigh...
our version was slightly different...instead of "Son't worry about the body," it was "But what about the body??"

Lol, it's kind of the only version of "Joy to the World" I know.
when someone said "So?" to you...
"So, So, Sew a button on your underwear" - how did that even make sense?
"Stupid Head!"
There are times I want to use this as an adult, but I am afraid it would only make my opponent laugh.

This one is still valid to use at least till age 24. I still say it to my husband. He never heard it when he was little and I refuse to explain to him that it doesnt actually make sense. So our conversation usually goes something like this...
I say something open-ended
he says"so...?"
I say "Sew buttons on your underwear"
he yells,"WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!?!?!?!"
I go one with my original thought.
I love tormenting him :)
