Folk sayings

I heard a great piece of country wit the other day. Gave me an old fashioned belly laugh.

"Wink at the girl in the daylight, not in the dark."

This was in reference to the wisdom of good communication. Some of my other favorites include: "That thing's running smoother than a hounds tooth," and "It's darker than the inside of a cow."

I love folk sayings. Sometimes they're morsels of simple wisdom, sometimes they're just funny and colorful. I'm sure there's a book or Web site out there full of them, but I'd love for you to send me your favorites.

(Just between you me and the gatepost) We'll have a contest for the best saying. Winner gets a free T-shirt with the winning phrase on it. (That's nothing to spit it at!) All entries will be published here and in my column in the printed paper, even if it hairlips all the cows in Texas.

Post your saying(s) here or email me directly at daseaton@arkcity.net. This ain't exactly Hometown Hero stuff but keep sending me those, too.
