Some interesting trivia....always good to clutter the mind
=========
In George Washington's days, there were no cameras.
One's image was either sculpted or painted.
Some paintings of George Washington showed him standing behind
a desk with one arm behind his back while others showed both legs and both
arms.
Prices charged by painters were not based on how many people were to be
painted,
but by how many limbs were to be painted.
Arms and legs are "limbs" therefore painting them would cost the buyer
more.
Hence the expression "Okay, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg."
Negative Statements
==============
"You're right Susan. I am going to quit making negative statements too. I am
going to speak positively from now on as well", Betty said.
"Really Betty, like what?", asked Susan.
"Well," Betty says, "I used to always say that my husband was not fit to
live with the hogs. Now I am going to say he IS fit to live with them."
