Brian Enos's Forums... Maku mozo!

Recommended Posts

So I'm watching an old movie, and this one fella threatens another man. He's all bowed-up, fist clenched, looking like he's about to throw a punch when he says, "One more peep out of you wisen-heimer, and I'll butter your necktie!" :wacko:

I'm not even sure I'd want to see that.

They would use butter back in the day to lubricate the noose for a hangin'.

Maybe that's what he meant. Still, it struck me funny. If he said that to me, I don't know whether I'd get scared or start laughing.

Correct! It was Charlie Cracker (bartender and owner) threatening Mr. Wilson from the sanitarium.
