I spit on the cleaned up version. The other has much more content. BTW, my grandma ended it with, "What do you have more of?" Of course she also said, "Sorry means 'spit'." And "I don't know whether to 'spit' or go blind." (cleaned up for the kiddies). This next one may have been exclusive to my very strange family. When someone was really good looking she'd say "I wouldn't put his face up on a fence post and throw 'spit' at it."

With the exception of the one about apologies, her sayings have come in surprisingly handy. She was a colorful woman--a crude, colorful woman.
