I was reminded of this expression recently while reading a postcard which was written in the late 1800's which mentioned the weather as "raining pitchforks and hammer handles." "Pitchforks", OK, but "hammer handles"?! You KNOW that had to be a drencher!!

TEd Remington Carpal Tunnel Registered: 07/17/00 Posts: 3467 Loc: Marion NC Too bad. If more of us agreed to use that title I would write a soap opera for us. Called Ayleur Children. _________________________ TEd Top #83174 - 10/27/02 02:21 PM Re: And I am STILL not an ayleur!
