My own response when asked how I'm doing: " Fair to partly cloudy", usually good for a laugh, and friends expect it now. And when I ask and they say "Can't complain", I say: "You're about the only one!" They say, "See ya later", I will say, "Don't threaten me!"

They's one in the woodpile.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

A "poke and plum town" ; meaning a very small town or four corners. Poke your head around the corner and you're plum out of town. Not trying argue since I've never heard this saying before but historically a poke is another word for a pocket and plumb is square so I would have thought a "poke and plumb" town would mean a new town just laid out; so it would be a perfectly square pocket town. Maybe idk
Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.
