^^^is that like F up a soup sandwich? I still use that when appropriate.
My Mom used to get mad at people and threaten “to show them how the hog ate the cabbage”. My family was deep German and drank a lot, so when they said something inane they just stuck with it I think!

“I might have been born at night, but it wasn’t last night. And I certainly didn’t just come from East Texas on a turnip truck”. Meaining I ain’t stoopid (stupid). The turnip truck reference from mine as well as above references how easy it is to grow turnips and people who did were usually not the brightest. And certainly not bright enough to grow a real crop. My dad grew up in the depression and he said stuff like this all the time. They were dirt farmers in Oklahoma during the dust bowl and Great Depression. There are a ton of these running around in my head, having grown up listening to them. My dad would see an attractive woman and say:
“High hookin, good lookin, round as a dollar and sound as a wheel, with a flax mane and tail. Got a tail end (or @ss depending on the company) like a school marm and goes dressed like a country stud to a county fair.”
“There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.”
Ernest Hemingway

Vinman
wow,you’re more messed up than I even guessed.
You weren’t even close! When I was born my first breath was a .06.
Raised rough! It ain’t easy being me, but its usually fun!
WIMPY Vinman!!! I was 1.02 outta da womb, and it was (I’ve been told)EXCELLENT Scotch! They also said (amongst closed family circles) that I wouldn’t shut up till I had both boobies and a good cigar. I cannot verify the validity of these claims, but iffn you’d like me to embellish upon what I assume to be the truth, I can continue…
