My grandfather gave me three options when I was young and slightly hurt. “I can hurt the other one, amputate the one that hurts, or you can go to bed.”
My grandpa had a million one liners, most were somewhat inappropriate but here’s a fun one. He’d say, “Did anyone get hurt in that wreck?” To any of my friends that drove over. When they inevitably asked “what wreck?” He’d say, “the one you pulled up in.” This was devastating to the ones who were super proud of their cars. Lol
That to me sounds like a very northern state phrase. I can absolutely hear my grandma saying that (not saying you/they are, just made me smile thinking of that)
My paternal grandfather had a lot of sayings: “here’s me head, me arse is coming”, “she walks with a bit of a run”, etc - typing them out a lot had to do with the way people walked. There are more though.
