2. My sainted mother-in-law was Mrs. Malaprop.
Not sure if her being Cajun had anything to do with it or not.
If she thought a guy was kinda shifty, she'd say "I think he's got something up his arm."

Everything was IN the TV. Not ON, IN. See, it was all IN the little box. And if it was IN the TV it was positively, absolutely TRUE.
"How do you know that, mom?"
"I seen it in the TV."

On the other hand, things on the radio were still ON it.
I dunno.
:shrug:

3. I have always said, "Mighty pines from little acorns grow"
I know it's not true, but it just SOUNDS better than "oaks."B-)
