[AT] old expressions

[Larry D. Goss]

LOL!  That last one reminds me that I worked with a man at Oklahoma
State who coined a saying unique enough that it made the Murphy's Law
daily calendar -- sorta:  If it doesn't fit, force it.  If it breaks, it
needed replacing anyway.

It gets printed as the saying for February 29.

Chuckle, chuckle.  Cool.  I like that one.  Guess we all know a couple
of 
those types.


When I am trying to fix some old piece of junk or another, my wife often

tells me  "You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear."  (like I
really 
wanted a silk purse, didn't I?) That makes me feel about as handy as a
left 
handed monkey wrench.  Then there is the tire on the tractor "that is 
flatter than a Flounder" (certain adjective omitted) .  While we are at
it, 
"don't force it, get a bigger hammer".
