Since moving down to NC, I have learned some Southern-ish sayings that I think are great.
Here's my list of favorites:
-Sometimes it's better to ask for forgiveness, than permission.
-We all make better historians than prophets.
-When I help a customer find something at work, they often say "Well! If it had been a snake, it woulda bit me!"  I tell them, "If it was a snake, you wouldna been looking for it!"
My mind is empty now, so perhaps I'll post more later.

Here's one along the same idea as the ones you posted: Hindsight is 20-20.

The "southern-ish" saying I learned in NC that I love (besides the snake one you mentioned) is when a customer finds something that will work for the whatever project he's doing and he says "now that dog'll hunt."
 
Speaking of snakes and biting, I had to turn two customers out of the store the other night for trying to come in with big pythons on their necks.

Another one I love, is "Let's not (do whatever) and say we did!"

I just never heard it until I moved down here.
How about "She gave him the hairy eyeball." ?   That's when you glare at someone to shut them up.
I'm told I'm good at it.
