Where did the phrase "pull my finger" come from? I mean, who was the first Uncle to say that?
How did that conversation go.? LOL
attributed to a character in a short story by Mordecai Richler (collected in The Street, 1969):
I don't have a clue where it originated ... but it had to be some time ago ... check out this ol' fella telling a story about the same topic ...
Socrates.
"Pullest thy finger"
DaddysKat: but it had to be some time ago ...
Indeed! Kat is correct, it goes all the way back to the time of creation. As originally depicted on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo.
The original version did not make the final edit.
Very tastefully edited for teatime viewing Andy, lol.
LOL's all, I was taking a break at work today when I posted this. Just remembered now that I am home and warming up for a few rounds of WGT.
Good fun, now where's my daughter, my finger needs a pulling before I swing a virtual club. ;-)
