Thread Name: Folklore: Bought The Farm
Subject: RE: Folklore: Bought The Farm
I've never heard of this saying until yesterday. The closest thing I can think of in Australia (i shouldn't speak on behalf of the country like that, I know) is if your family dog dies, the parents will tell the kids that they 'took it to the farm' - so the kids aren't too sad.
