Subject: RE: Folklore: Bought The Farm From: GUEST,ozchick Date: 09 Feb 07 - 11:14 PM 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. |

Subject: Folklore: "Bought The Farm" From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 09 Feb 07 - 10:01 PM 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, |
