Concidering the lack of anything really happening today to report other then the production of another quart of dill pickles and a fruitful morning thrift sale shopping...I bought some more quart jars, I thought I'd share the following quotes that someone sent me.

Cliche of the Day

You Said a Mouthful. What you have said is pithy, pertinent or sums up the situation. H.L. Mencken recorded the remark in The American Language (4th edition, 1936); it probably dates from just after World War I. Ring Lardner's First and Last (1934) has: " 'Well Lardy we will have to make it some other time,' said Gerry. 'You said a mouthful Gerry; was my smiling reply."

And so comes to an end my daily use of the Cliche of the Day selected from The Dictionary of Cliches by James Rogers. I will mourn its passing but find that it is becoming more and more difficult to keep from repeating myself. This could be because so many of the events which percipitate the choice of these cliches are also repetitive. One would hope not but to save myself from digging myself into a deeper rut then necessary, tomorrow will start a new closing segment. Today's Little Bit of Trivia. Stay tuned.
