"DICK-IDIOM #28"

 

 
 
IDLE THOUGHTS
EARLY BIRDS
 
To me,
it seems like
it’s a lot better
to be the early bird,
then
the early worm.
 
Of course,
I’m from Florida.
 
Early Birds 
&
getting worms
have totally different meanings

The early bird might get the worm in Florida but in SoCal it's the late bird. He gets it out of the bottom of a tequila bottle. mmmmmmmmm. Patrick

I guess being from Florida puts a whole new perspective on it. Tell me, does an early bird gather no moss?

Yes, being a Florida Early Bird is practically a requirement ..... after retirement, of course.
