Some interesting TidBits that most of us cannot live without knowing !


( 1 ) In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes.
When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer
to sleep on. Hence the phrase.......... 'goodnight, sleep tight..'

( 2 ) It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month
after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all
the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calender
was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which we know
today as the "honeymoon. "

( 3 ) In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts... So in old England ,
when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them 'Mind your
pints and quarts, and settle down.'
It's where we get the phrase 'mind your P's and Q's'

( 4 ) Many years ago in England , pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the
rim, or handle, of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they
used the whistle to get some service.. 'Wet your whistle' is the phrase
inspired by this practice.

( 5 ) In the 1400's a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to
beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have
'the rule of thumb'

'Gentlemen Only....Ladies Forbidden'...and thus the word GOLF entered into
the English language
