"Vermont Expressions" " From "Vermonter" June 1966, submitted by Muriel J. Hughes He's so narrow minded he can look through a keyhole with both eyes at once. She's busy as a frog in a butter churn. Save your breath to cool your porridge. He stands out like a blackberry in a pan of milk. She's so short she'd have to stand on a milk pail to look down a woodchuck hole. He was so crooked they had to use a corkscrew to bury him. She's as dainty as a cow with snowshoes on. He's as independent as a hog on ice with its tail froze in. She's so homely she'd scare the hoss, and chase the driver. Vermont has two kinds of weather --- winter, and the Fourth of July. |
