A late co-worker used to say, we need to soak your socks in kerosene, so the ants don't eat your candy ass!
I got all kinds of variations of candy-ass comments from dad. He was a WWII vet ...
My Dad was also a WWII vet - the Italian army! [No BS] He also said every guy should spend at least one year in the service, I did not agree and didnt serve.
What?! Not even in the boy scouts?
No. I wanted to join the Cub Scouts when I was a young boy but my Mom didnt want to spend the $13 for the uniform.
