And you can’t getalog very well that way either.

That’ll put a cramp in your style too.

It could rub you raw.

It’s better than hangin around.

Earl’s talking to his Grandson … so his getalong must have not been permanently damaged

nothing worse than a getalong with a HITCH in it!

I haven’t heard that phrase for 30 years.

all we need is opal crackin’ about his getalong is a lot shorter than he thinks…

I haven’t heard that expression in a while.

Tennessee Ernie Ford said that same line to Lucy.

Okay, I guess I am officially gettin’ old. That or it is a Texas thing. I still use that expression when it is appropriate. Comes up two or three times a year.

ROLF! You guys crack me up. The comments are too funny.

When life’s rope gives you a knot, stand, don’t sit. If you’re wearing shoes (the knot would hitch your getalong pretty badly if you’re barefoot), you can have a good ol’ time on that swing.

Snerk..

She said " untie your knots and give me more rope " .

I really need to find a way to say “put a hitch in my getalong” somehow this week.

You could always put the rope through the knothole of a board before tying that knot. Check for splinters first, though.

Ahh – but the knot would improve a singers’ range…..

When you get to the end of your rope..

Take the fork in the road..(I think Yogi Berra said that)

Ouch!

LOL xxx

Well, have fun explaining that expression to your grandson now!

My mother said “When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.”

but don’t get your ropes mixed up

there u go fishbulb239 lol

Is this what they meant by “getalong little doggies?”

Earl remind me of my Dad so much – AND THIS is such a DAD-ISM!! LOVE IT/HIM..
