The phrase 'Rule of thumb'* is derived from an old English law which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb. [This reminds me that my late mother used to say, 'Never put anything in your ear smaller than your elbow.]'

Bats always turn left when exiting a cave.

* Rule of thumb. The tenuous association between wife beating and rule and thumb presents a fascinating story within a story. The commonest meaning of 'rule of thumb' has probably always been, 'down to experience'. What seems to have happened in the 17th century is that cartoonists and satirists choose to hi-jack this phrase in order to poke fun at wife beating. Within their humour the stick was no thicker than a thumb.

All was uncontroversial with 'Rule of thumb' until latter-day 20th century feminists seized on this derivation, and sought to highlight the nasty wife beating association in order to whip up support for their feminist movement - metaphorically of course!

The latest 21st century development is that 'new man' wants to pull the rug from under the feminist argument by pointing out that the derivation of rule of thumb from the thickness of the wife-beating stick was always fallacious.


As the late great Paul Harvey used to say, "THAT, is the rest of the story." wink

Good morning everyboomie. welcome


How are you all doing this fine Sunday morning? penguin


I'm putting Baby in the truck this morning, and taking a drive out to Soper to where I used to go hunt points with my friend Shane. I'm going to see if I can obtain permission to hunt there by myself, or maybe find another place to look. happydance


If I'm not successful, then I'm going to keep driving until I drive off the edge of the world. hamster


If I am successful, then I'll most likely walk around looking until dark, or until utter exhaustion drops me in my tracks, OR until I reach udder exhaustion and can give no more milk.


Then I'll come back home, and buy more milk at the store so that my fridge is udderly stocked full. thumbsup


Then....I'll have some milk and cookies. razz


Have a happy day everyone, and enjoy the SuperBowl. wave2

Good morning everyone. Breakfast out, and then back home. Robert has a 1 PM Magic game today, so we did the shopping yesterday. To all here and all who follow, have a Super Sunday. Danish, Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, BB Pancakes, Hash Browns, and Toast in the NC. Cold and windy but no rain today. penguin hamster

Good morning everyone. wave2

I decided against driving out to Soper. My back is still hurting, and hours spent in my truck will only make it worse, and I want to work tomorrow pain free. yes

I have things to do around here as well. razz

It will be nicer weather-wise later this week, and I will try to go then. happydance

It's a shame just the same. I woke up early, and got up early in anticipation of going. smirk

We had a good frost this morning. It was 32 degrees when I got up. shiver

It's a good morning to watch the tube with a good cup-o-joe. wink

Hi all!
Have a super Sunday! I couldn't be less interested in football now, so I won't be watching. I am hurting with you Joe! I have an MRI on my lower back scheduled for tomorrow and another injection in my back on Tuesday since the one on Jan 12th did no good. Meanwhile I am stuck at home in my recliner taking pain meds and being groggy and woozy as a result. Can't work like that...I might end up sending a customer to the wrong city. LOL!
My 2 cats and I will enjoy the Kitten and Puppy bowls I guess. I am going to sit in the sun on my patio and get some fresh air.
The rest of you who love football, enjoy the game! The weather here is beautiful and temps in the high 70s.

Lady Gaga.... bravo Great job! thumbsup

Andrea I feel for you. Sorry you're suffering in the back too. I've been to dozens of doctors/back specialist, had injections, manipulations, and acupuncture. Still it comes down to trying to stay fit, and being disciplined enough to do daily stretches, which I don't. duh

I hope you feel better soon. kissy

Enjoy the game, and commercials everyone. wave2
