Subject: RE: 'Aha' She Cried and Waved Her Wooden Leg...
My Mom's version ~
"Thank you Kindly Sir she said and waved her wooden leg aloft, meanwhile knitting her eyebrows into a handkerchief. "
I still use it frequently when thanking someone and it never fails to baffle the recipient.
Undoubtedly came from my Mom's mom who was of Irish descent.
I do hope the tradition continues.
