Thread Name: Folklore: Bought The Farm
Subject: Folklore: "Bought The Farm"
A historian/writer compatriot - in the past has stated that the term (in a current B.S. thread) Bought The Farm is a reference to airplane pilots of World War ONE - (and subsequent barn-stormers) and crash landings.

What is your read?

Sincerely,
Gargoyle
