"If a frog had pockets he'd carry a six shooter" is my favorite one.

What on earth does that mean, anyway? Is it a comment on your country's firearm culture?

No idea what it meant, but it was hillarious! Cheesy

I think the meaning was similar to 'if wishes were horses, beggars would ride'.  As in someone says 'If Kerry had 120,000 more votes in Ohio he would be president', so Dan says 'Well, if a frog had side pockets, he'd carry a six-shooter!'
