(Old saying. 1905 English Dialect Dictionary IV. 304)
Two overheard comments from two different people at the same farm stand within five minutes of each other. The first was from a man whose whose friend had picked out a bunch of carrots but had dropped them on the floor.
"Get another bunch. Those have now got dirt on them."
The second was by a woman who was getting into a very swish and shiny black Mercedes Benz with, I assume, her husband. "You are going to drive through some mud on the way home. I want people to know we've been to the country."
Hyacinth Bucket lives!
