Sayings that stick with you

   "Sugar for Sugar and Salt for Salt".



researching the origins of the phrase i found this..


1. SUGAR FOR SUGAR 4:04
Robin & Linda Williams, Jerome Clark
(The New Music Times/Southern Melody Pub. Co., BMI)

I've seen a lot of better days
But I'm putting up with these
Man you've got crazy Ways
Oh, you're mighty hard to please
Things ain't like they used to be
I used to make you smile
Once you were nice to me
But that's been a long long while
That's been a long long while

Chorus:
You get Sugar for Sugar, honey, salt for salt
Looks like it's time for me to walk that walk
If I ain't here tomorrow it's your own damn fault
Cause you get Sugar for Sugar, honey, salt for salt
Sugar for Sugar, honey, salt for salt

Oh babe, once your two lips
Were as sweet as warm, red wine
And I savored every sip
Whenever they touched mine
You turn away from me now
In the midnight hour
There's a bad taste in my mouth
Your kiss is cold and sour
Your kiss is cold and sour

(Chorus)

Once you were my nightly dream
I was your daily thought
Since you picked my pockets clean
You're just trouble that I bought
You're just trouble I have bought

(Chorus)

Couple more:

Me: "I have a headache"
My Grandmother: "If I had a head like that and it didn't ache, I'd think there was something wrong with it"  (RIP Nana)

...and this gem from a guy who lockers next to me here at work:

Knowing his propensity for hitting the titty bars when the fish weren't biting on Lake Erie, his wife would say,
"If you come home with fish on the finger, ya better have fish on the stringer" ....friggin' CLASSIC!!
