Holy Batcave Batman......
Would not have even tried to look it up, was just being "glib" about
the whole bloody messing thing I reckon.
Just shooting some "glib" at Jim ya know...
Some people are so tight, I wonder how much they have to pay a doctor
to get them to fart. Sprinkle a little Bit-O-Humor on it and as the
saying goes.. A spoonful of sugar makes to thing go down or something
like that.
But I do thank you for the meaning of it however.

Speaking of which, did you hear about the 200-car pile up on the 710
