Whatever that means.


CUT OF HIS JIB - "The cut of a jib, or foresail of a ship indicates her character to a sailor and 'jib' means 'face' in sailor's slang. Thus 'don't like the cut of his jib,' which probably dates to a century ago, translates as 'I'm suspicious of him; I don't like this expression on his face.'" From "Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins" by Robert Hendrickson (Facts on File, New York, 1997).

Damn with that much you could buy everyone in the country an iPhone (the 8Gig version of course), plus an Apple-TV and still have money leftover to by moives.

It's also $13,000 per person in Iraq. At that rate I hope we never attack China. That could run to some real bucks.

When I was 12 my dad caught me with a box of cigarettes. He locked me in a closet until I'd smoked them all.



The next day I went out and bought a box of condoms.

What sort of revenge, exactly, did you have planned?
