Subject: RE: Farm Sayings - Words of Wisdom



Cleveland, MS. Own small farm near Booneville, MS

A couple that I heard in my younger days, some of which might not exactly be PC:

Concerning a desire to have/do something: "Wish in one had and **** in the other and see which one fills up fastest."

On getting a part to fit properly when making a repair: "Don't force it, just get a bigger hammer." - James Jackson, locally renowned shade tree mechanic

"Well, lookey there!" - my brother when something was tried that actually worked, especially when fixing something.

"He's gonna do "great wonders" and fall back in it." when someone was making big brags about the greatness of his intended actions, especially when that person had a reputation for bragging but not doing.

Conversation with my son: "Dad, I want ____________. Please buy it for me." "Son, now you know what it feels like to want."

My father to me: "Son, don't waste too much time building air castles."
