If you ride a tiger you can't get off.

I changed my job from comfortable one to well paying one that required extensive travel many years ago. I told my first wife "I will do it one or two years so we save some money." I am still at it 42 years later. Sitting firmly on the tiger.

As I read it, back in the 1700's a penny was a lot of money and there were lots of counterfeit pennies out there. So if you got one, you would palm it off on someone else before you got stuck with it. Apparently, they kept turning up. Anyhow, that phrase always had me wondering, too. What the heck is a bad penny? :laughing:

Rattle your dags

(To tell someone to hurry up or get a move on. Dags are the dried excrement hanging from the wool at the back of sheep. Rattling dags would be when sheep are running.

“Come on, get a move on. Rattle your dags!”)
