George,
I well remember John Nance Garner, former US Senator from Texas and Vice President under Franklin D. Roosevelts first two terms. His famous comment was, when asked about the job of Vice Presidentof the US, that the job "Wasn't worth a pitcher of warm spit."

Ahh.. my dear Eldr.... he would have labelled you a "pantywaist" to hear you say that....

From his biography at the website below: "Garner once described the office of the vice presidency as being "not worth a bucket of warm piss."[2] This quote was bowdlerized for many decades to "not worth a bucket of warm spit" by the media. The incorrect version is still used on occasion by writers who say they never heard or read it any other way. Garner once described a writer who quoted it this way as a "pantywaist."[3]."

I believe it was Lyndon Johnson who quoted him as having said it wasn't worth "a pitcher of warm spit", so I guess LBJ was a pantywaist too!

George,

I must defer to your superior knowledge of your fellow Texans.
