Funny sayings
My uncle had a bunch of funny sayings and notions, too.
He thought baseball would be livelier if the batter could run to whatever base he wanted after a hit. He couldn't see anything wrong with that.
Had a whole catalogue of bird breeds, like the "pink throated nut scratcher" and more.
My sister told me of another one of his which I hadn't heard. If he knew a word with a silent "P" he wouldn't say as in PNEUMONIA as most people would, instead he'd say silent P as in "swimming".
He said he had a friend who invented a soft drink "one-up, and two-up, all the way to six-up" then quit because it wasn't a success. I know it's an old joke, but we would roar with laughter at that one. I miss him.
And so on, maybe you've heard all these from your uncles, anyway back to the Gin.
Thanks for lookin'
