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.
