Famous Sayings From Coin Operated History

Post by john t peterson »

- I wonder what this thing does?

- It came apart so easily, I know I can put it back together just as easily.

- Honey, this is the last one…honest.

- I could have bought this same machine last year for half the price.

- So…what's it worth?

- I can't get the door open. I have no idea if it works.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE SAYING? :lol:

SAYING -------------------------------------------------------- MEANING

Very Rare ------------------------------------------------------- Not very rare

Only known example ------------------------------------------- fortunately

I'll see what it goes for ----------------------------------------- I'm buying it whatever

I'm not obsessed with them ------------------------------------ I'm delusional

Barn fresh -------------------------------------------------------- Dog rough

Sold as seen ------------------------------------------------------ It's buggered

Needs a bit of TLC ---------------------------------------------- It's buggered

Seems complete but door locked ------------------------------- No mechanism

Listed outside eBay so I reserve the right... ------------------- I forfeited the right by listing on eBay

Me bitter? !NOPE!

This one always makes me wonder, a saying that has slithered over from the States of late... Truth is, nothing, alive or dead, animate or inanimate, new or old comes out of a barn "fresh". dirtdog
