| We've been watching a dreary DVD called "Single-Handed" about a sergeant in the Irish Garda who is 'assisted' by a fellow officer who is a dolt. Speaking of the dolt, a villager says, "He wasn't born; he was knitted."
I've never heard that one before. Makes me laugh to think of it! |

| It could be much worse,,,when I was a kid on the farm they used to say,,,"He wasn't born, a crow pooped on a fence post and the sun hatched him." |

| OJ, he's not telling a story - that's what parents used to say to kids all the time! |

| I think it's the "knitted" that gets to me. It infers the guy is sort of like, oh, a sock puppet? |

| Thanks for the LOL Chisue and Lazypup! I haven't heard of either saying. Maybe I was "knitted". lol Just wish I could remember these so I could pass them on. :/ |

| I always thought that "he was knitted" referred to someone who has a full, thick head of hair. |

| When I was a girl, I remember my father saying about someone he knew that "he is a self-made man who loves his maker." Of course, that was a new saying to me then, though I have heard it since Dad first uttered it. I find it quite apt for certain types of people to this day. |
