It's raining like a herd of cows p-ssing on a flat rock.





That I can explain! Out here we say a horse p**sing on a flat rock.
Ever see it happen?  Bounces of the rock and splatters!
When it's a hard fast pouring rain- does the same thing on pavement, the roof, ya know...at least that's what I reckon!  :question:

"worse things have happened to better people"

I think it's like-
" Joan of Arc got burned at the stake! And your moaning about getting a flat tire!"
Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)

Here's one- when you admit you are wrong- and afterwords say-"Whatta ya wan't-a fish?"
"So what do you want? A fish?"
My Dad usta say that.
My Ma usta say " My mother's hairy canary!"
So interesting to hear them scream at each other!   :smile:

For I am my own master
I am my own god
I require no shepherd
For I am no sheep.

Rev. Powell

"It's better than a sharp stick in the eye."

Here's one that's probably not that old, but it's new to me: "more power to your elbow!" I'm going to try to work that into regular conversation.
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...
