GUEST,Chicken Charlie	Origins: 'Skin the Cat' and other family sayings (127* d)	RE: Origins: 'Skin the Cat' and other family sayings	03 Apr 08
When someone he didn't admire got something right, my grandfather would say, "Even a blind sow can stumble across an acorn once in a while." And his version of recommending that a spade be called a spade was, "If a cat had kittens in the oven, would you call them biscuits?" The blind sow I have heard elsewhere; the kittens thing I have not. CC
