DAG NAB IT ! or the things we used to hear....

 The Old Farmer's favorite swear word when he hit his thumb with the hammer was  ...                                                                                                                         DAG NAB IT!

   And he often said
            AS THE CROW FLIES....
     Crows are believed to fly straight to
 their destinations.
          How far to Jenny's house, 
    1 1/2 miles, By crow only 1 mile! 

Excuse me, a little elbow room please.....TOO MANY COOKS IN THE KITCHEN

    Too Many Cooks Spoil the Soup-"what did you put in there! I already did that!"

                  
 That poor dead critter is ....STIFFER THAN A BOARD
             
  or ....DEADER THAN A DOORNAIL...why is a doornail dead? I have thought about this and believe it is because they were pounded through the door and the point bent over so they couldn't be removed, making them dead, and not reuseable in any future time.

 A penny saved is a penny earned

Crooked as a dogs hind leg

Finer than the fuzz on a bee's butt

 Its not my fault! I didn't do it! ....
The Old Farmer's Wife favorite saying was...

 Like a bat out of hell

A stitch in time saves nine

 Tongue in cheek

Not worth a plug nickel



 Safely walking along the road....SINGLE FILE INDIAN STYLE, FACING TRAFFIC ALL THE WHILE...I think our young folks could use a refresher course on this one now.

(I suspect many may be uncomfortable with the use of Indian. 
 Native american is a Washington political pc thing.
I have contact with many "native americans" and many prefer the use of 
American Indian or first peoples.

    Did you ever
         
           take to something
                         
                 like a duck takes to water?                                                  

Another of the Old Farmer's favorites was  
"Not a fit day out for Maaaannnnn nor BEAST"
