Thanks for sharing. It is always interesting to know the origin of sayings and words. I took a class once called the Origin of the English Language and it was one of the most interesting classes I have ever taken.

It's cute, but most if not all of it is BS.

Snopes is always a good place to research this kind of stuff.

I wish the people who sent me "Forwards" in my email would check them out on Snopes first.

Good for a laugh--not sure how much of it is the truth! Hence, don't believe everything you hear and in this case "read". LOL
