I went and saw one of my Father friends. He was not feeling the best. He said he needed about 4 fingers in a bottom of a washtub to straighten him out.  :o

More story than just the saying, true story as it happens. There was a crusty old tech at work that had been there as long as the power plant or a bit longer. Like most with the experience to make things work he was pretty dismissive of the youngsters that were long on book learning and short on the experience needed to get things done. His usual and oft repeated comment about most of the young tech's was "He doesn't know jack 'poop' ". After hearing this from the old tech for years the day finally came for his retirement party. Along with the cake and other gifts someone had a baseball cap made for him, "I know jack 'poop!' "

The old tech finished in fine form: "Y'all get in a bind and need some advice on some of this hardware, don't even think about giving me a call!"

My grandfather had a tobacco farm near Sparta, North Carolina.  No electric, no indoor plumbing, he worked very hard and lived simply, and I adored him.  When I was about 12, we were hoeing rows together and I was telling him about something that was bothering my mind.  I don't even remember what had me upset, but he told me not to think about it.  I told him that was hard to do, and he said, "Girl, you can't help the birds that fly over your head, but you can keep them from building a nest in your hair."
