China shop owner, Isaac was adamant that bulls would not step over his threshold, even though the cattle man called him a big girl’s blouse. (139 characters with spaces)
A bull in a China shop would not end well.

Never you mind what the cattle man said, it's just too many bulls for comfort. Great!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want all those bulls within a mile of my china shop if I were him.

He didn't want to be a crashing boar - er bore - er - bull?!

LOL! Thank you everyone :O)
ReplyDeleteIsaac should let them in, with the express understanding (in writing of course) that if they or their bulls break it, they buy it.
ReplyDeleteIsaac is very wise! LOL
ReplyDeleteIs "big girl blouse" an insult of some kind?
ReplyDeleteLOL ... looks like your big girl's blouse doesn't cross the pond Madeleine! I thought it was great! :Dom
ReplyDeleteYeah, insults don't work with kings. Does "big girl's blouse" refer to a big-breasted air-head of a girl? I think it must be a British saying, as I've never heard it in the US.
ReplyDeleteI like these MMs with the bull-in-a-china-shop references!
Yes big girl's blouse is very derogatory. :O)
ReplyDeleteWell a guy has to protect his business. :)
ReplyDeleteIt surely would be a dangerous situation! :O)
ReplyDeleteHaha! Losts of bulls- and that's funny that a "big girl's blouse" is derogatory! I've never heard it either ;p
