Gary Benson trapper G Joined: Dec 2006 Very SE Nebraska	Originally Posted by Cragar Honeymoon Back in the day of arranged marriages , some young couples met for the first time at the altar. To help the marriage to be more successful to a couple who were complete strangers , they were made to drink a fairly large cup of mead (honey) every day for a month (moon). So basically you had a good time with your new spouse being both of you were drunk for a month. I like it........ Life ain't supposed to be easy.

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 poke was also used to mean sack , like a "Pig in a poke" was to buy something sight un seen America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

On several of the commissioned British sailing ships the racks were ornamented as monkeys with many hands holding the cannon balls in place. As cold weather set in well sailors being sailors versed the saying.
