I have a jolly old uncle in Cedar Creek, NC who is a lot of fun to be around. He is a sweet man with a great sense of humor. This is one of the things you might hear him say at a family gathering. I’m not sure what it means….
The birds do it
The bees do it
Everybody ought to be able to do it
Anybody that can’t do it ought to be tied to it and made do it
Then, if they still can’t do it
Bring ‘em to me
I can do it
‘cuz I’m used to it
Other famous family quotations:
Grandma Ruby (Uncle Jackie’s mom)
”I loved him so much when I married him I could’ve eaten him. Now I wished I had.”
(speaking of her beloved husband of over 60 years-with a slight bit of resentment)
“He can crack a nut with that tooth”
(still speaking of my Grandaddy Hoyt-who has slowly lost all but one tooth)

That's hilarious. The first quote reminds me of an Ella Fitzgerald song about falling in love or something.
