We all have catch phrases we use, right? OK JEN....this one will REALLY get yer goat :lol:

When it's quittin' time, just before I leave, I'll stop by dispatch and say, "It's time to call in the dogs and p*ss on the fire!" 8-)

My dad grew up in East Texas WAY back in the 1920's and he used to hunt racoons and just before sunup, they'd "Call in the dogs and pee on the fire" = giving up the hunt and going home!

Any phrases you care to share with the WHOLE world? :lol:

When someone has too much going on in their life, they have "too many irons
in the fire!" (Old folk terminology - trying to put too many iron skillets on the fire
at one time...)
