uh… eww?

I hate it when that happens

“Trivial, worthless, or insolent talk or ideas.”

I’m a guff pro.

Earl, invoking the wisdom of Thornton Melon.

LOL ( the comic)

I heard a comic long ago who told of his uncle who was shot down in Germany in WWII and parachuted into a cow field.

His last words were the only thing he knew in German.

“Ach Dung”

That’s another word for it? Ha ha!

That is until you get home, Earl!

“You don’t take any guff from anyone”…that is unless you are married to Opal and then you take a lot of guff!

He’s an old guffer, all right.

You be in a whole heap of Guff now son !

Are the Waiting For Guffman??

Oy! Better take those shoes off before going in Grandmas house….no guff allowed!

Shinola!

Nelson: “Oh, GUFF!”

“Don’t give me any cow patty, mister!”

Trump was giving a speech for a bunch of Swedish-Americans at this one farm. After just about every sentence, they’d yell out “avföring.” At the end of the speach, they all stood and said “avföring! avföring!! AVFÖRING!!!!!!!” for like 5 mins straight as he stood there and soaked in all the praise.

They then took him for a tour of the farm and when they were walking through the pasture, one of them told him “Be careful! You almost stepped in the bull-avföring!”

And in a self-admission, when I was around 7-8, I was at a summer camp and was walking through the pasture and stepped in the avföring myself. It was a bit dried on top and I didn’t realize what it was and planted my foot. …sigh… And then around 10-11, I was in the scouts and was doing the “start a camp fire with only two matches” and I found some clumps of dried grass on the trail and used that as tinder to get the fire going. Then got razzed for not knowing WHY it was clumped together (think “horse trail.”) ….double sigh…. At least it was well-dried and well-aged grass.

Easy to say when out in a field.. you won’t hear him say that within earshot of Opal.

Not even Three Billy Goats Gruff?

Is it bull guff?

Don’t listen to him, kid. He takes plenty of guff from Opal.

Don’t step in anything agricultural.
