Country Color Commentary, Join the Fun

In the process of writing the article on country sayin's for the September/October Hometown, I found that there are more colorful country sayings than I can shake a stick at, much less publish in Hometown. Some of you might be tempted to give me down in the country for getting some of them wrong or for leaving out your favorites. If you have a different interpretation of any of the country sayin's I mentioned, please let us know by commenting on this post. If we left out your favorite, please post it in your comment.

My favorite country saying: "Slow as molasses in January." Now that's slow!
