| When something didn't please my paternal grandfather, Champ Stodghill (and very few things pleased him other than a good fistfight), he'd say, "That's enough to give a dog's ass the heartburn."
Sorry about that Ohio River talk. |

| Pardon the crudity here, so if you're tender don't read on.
My NC uncle use to say, every summer, "I'm hotter than a half-fucked fox in a forest fire." |

| He once referred to the busty neighbor girl, wobbling by in a tight T-shirt as:
Looks like two bullpups fighting in a croker sack. |

| His idea of motivational quotes:
"Don't jasperize, optimize!"
and
"Don't worry about the mule going blind, just load the wagon."
I keep picturing them as posters in office cubicles. |

| My all-time favorite...and, I have collected a few to use in my fiction---is when she walked away, her behind looked like two pigs fighting in a croaker sack.  I'm also fond of "She's so deaf, she can't hear a fart in a jug."  I grew up hearing so many of them...and, by the way, I am from Irish lineage on both sides of my family. Hm.... |

| Ah....but, you see, Abe...that's the point. Between the heat and humidity and the sayings, we do tend to boggle. Actually, it is considered an art form here.  |

| Rhett, you revived a memory. At a bar one day a barmaid carrying an ample number of excess pounds was being watched while she moved some beer cases. Some guy said, "If they yelled 'haul ass' she'd have to make two trips."
Men are so disgusting, right? |
