I have heard of a Border Collie who would bounce off the walls when the word “frisbee” was mentioned in her hearing. Her people began referring to it as “disc” or “F word” (to the confusion of a few friends).
Same here. I squatted to fish something out from behind the dresser and stressed my left knee. It is still sore if I move it wrong. Fortunately, my new long reacher-grabber arrived next week so I should be able to fish things out from behind the dresser without contorting myself!
The Gordian knot was an impossibly complex knot. The story was, whoever could undo the knot would inherit the kingdom. Along came Alexander the Great who, without hesitation, pulled out his sword and cut the knot in two. Hubby may be implying that Loretta’s garlic knots are too tough to bite into.
Yes, men don’t usually carry purses. They dump everything into their girlfriend’s purse, until she gets smart and starts carrying a smaller one. (True story from when my hubby and I were first dating. When I realized I was walking lopsided from the weight I got a smaller purse. Hubby to be decided he didn’t really need all that stuff and quit bringing it along.)
It is also a competition show on T.V.
