Overheard…
In the SIT library (where, theoretically, there is no talking) I heard a guy loudly announce to the person at the reception desk:
“I finally pulled the trigger and asked her to marry me.”
(I hope she lived long enough to reply.)
Guess he bit the bullet, eh? Bit the big one? Took a leap? Went off his rocker? How do they say that in Swahili? Shhhhh……
As an ordained minister, I shudder and sway.
How about just asking her to marry me and then pulling the trigger? A better arrangement and possible country and western song.
Bul: Should I pull the trigger once or twice? Syd: You nailed it. You bit the nail on the head, I should say. Lentil: stop swaying and sashaying.
