Subject: RE: BS: Old sayings from childhood
My Grandmother to an unnamed, but known Mudcatter, when he was being something less than what she expected:

I will send ye back to Jesus, ... and yer Mother, God bless her, will make another just like ye tomorrow"

Larry Cope of Macon, GA, a fellow serviceman, when he saw something that fascinated him:

That is slicker'n hot chicken fat on a stuck door knob"

Same Larry Cope when asked how he was doing:

Jes' fine as frog hair..

Our own Kendal Morse, when asked if he had many relatives in his hometown:

Hell, I got more relatives than a 30 year old rabbit...

His delivery was so dry and instantaneous that Marum and I just fell out and laughed so hard we had tears running down our faces.
