this thread brings back memories of things my dad would say however no one meantioned this one.............

caught between a rock and a hard place.

isnt this kind of a damned if you do and damned if you dont kind of saying? lesser of 2 evils thing?

Aw Pam, this is silly, too. In the mountains (and probably anywhere it happened also, but.....) the young boys would brag of their strength and who was the 'best' fighter, runner, etc or HOW BAD. Well, my big bro use to say, I'll rip a bear's head off and p--- down his throat. Now, that was supposed to mean he was the best bad a--. my my and he had to face Mom. Hah. Even the bear was afraid of her.

It's the same difference- lol
