[QUOTE="thor447, post: 4146675, member: 24867"] My grandfather would always refer to gasoline as 'motion lotion'. Speaking of my grandfather, he was one of 7 brothers. I remember once a long time ago in the mid 80's we were at my great uncles home in Lake Eufaula for Thanksgiving dinner. My grandfather, great uncle, and their last surviving brother (whom I only meant that once) were all in attendance. My grandad said the prayer before the meal. It went as follows: "Thank you to the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, whoever eats the fastest gets the most". My grandmother was horrified, as apparently he'd never said that prayer in front of her. Apparently it was something they all did when they were young, which would make sense considering they grew up very modestly and I'm sure a big meal was a hot commodity between 7 brothers. He later told me that whenever any one of them would say that prayer my great grandmother would whip them on the spot, but it was a joke among the brothers. That prayer stuck with me ever since. It's been said a few times around a family meal between one of my brothers (3 of them) or myself when we happen to be together. We all get a laugh. My mother never found it amusing though. [/QUOTE]
