LOL!! You just have to be from the south. Only folks I know can come
up with 'colorful' expressions like that are from the south. )


Nope - but I did eat at a Shoney's a couple of times...


That'd do it!

I agree. There is a romantic notion that suggest something "wonderful"
about a tool that is 200 years old. The thing is, the tool was just a tool
when it was manufactured. It's age is more of its attraction today than its
superior qualities. If that tool had continued to be used daily it surely
would not be laying around to be purchased, 200 years later. Its age is no
reflection of anything - except its age.

It may have lasted 200 years because its previous owners did not think
well of it, tossed it into a corner and bought a newer design that they
liked better. ;-)
