My grandma: "Relax, you'll die with that <injured bodypart>" - meaning it will heal and you'll make a full recovery. This one was often misunderstood by the younger children, making them cry a lot more rather than less. 
My dad, when asked if he liked the food: "Yes, it was lovely, but it had a taste that the dog doesn't like" - meaning the food was very hot. As a young boy he really insulted his aunt with this on, until his mom explained it.
My mom: "The graveyard is full of indispensable people" - To/about people thinking themselves overly important.

#23 Lol, my Grandpa would say there was a frog that followed him around, and when he farted, he'd say: "There's that darned frog again!"
My other Granddad liked to tell me I was "a fine horse to bet on."

I’m old, and I’ve only ever heard #6 said by anyone.
I also grew up in a big city, not out in the country.

My grandma used to say “home again, home again, jiggity jog” when arriving from a long trip.
When asking as a young lad, the answer to “what did you get me for Christmas/birthday/etc?” The response was “a layover to catch meddlers.”
She had many silly sayings.

“home again, home again, jiggity jog” is part of the nursery rhyme "To Market, To Market"

He'd step over a dollar to pick up a dime
He's got a god sized hole
It's colder than a witches t*t in a brass bra in January
If it was up your @$$ you'd know it
That's outside of my bailiwick meaning outside of their expertise or area of interest
