Fines and Happy Dollars

Sue had some questions for the club: Where does the saying three sheets to the wind come from-When sheets were not properly connected to the sails on a ship, it tossed the ship around like a drunken saylor, It will cost an arm and a leg comes from early painters painting portraits charging by the limb, Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water comes from earlier times when everyone used the same water to take a bath, the older family members were first, and the baby was last, Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, accept a gift and be grateful, someone bought the farm, when young men went to war and were killed, their families often used the insurance money to pay off their farm.

Tammy paid fines because she rang the bell late and also forgot her name tag.
