SAMSONS Fine China Man: Sure, I've heard the expression. I just thought it meant... something else.
Disproved by Mythbusters!!
Now ,a kid in a china shop. Wipe out.
“Up next at 11: China shop owner gores customer. Stand by for breaking news….”
Actually, I have no beef with Samson owning a china shop.
Ya gotta follow your dreams, let the chips fall where they may.
It just might be a little too risky to have a steak in it.
Thats sure a lot of BULL!
Is that a bully pulpit? The owner looks like a bully to me….
He’s bullish on china!
He just wanted to horn in on the pre-holiday rush.
You might have seen the headline: “China Shop Owner Defies Stereotype.”
Technically, an ox is a neutered bull used as a draft animal; a steer is a neutered bull raised for meat. You can convert an ox into a steer at any time, but after a steer has served his destined purpose, it’s kinda hard to convert him into an ox.
The JAM — no problem. Thanks for saying you saw it
Speaking of questions nobody answered -- c001, it’s “A bull in a china shop.”
As you might infer from the discussion above, a bull is more likely to rampage in close quarters.
That’s one reason oxen and steers are neutered -
and, of course, why some male humans are … cough….. needlessly phobic about (cough) vasectomy (cough cough).
And I also have had a few posts not show up, or even disappear an hour after posting.
Other times, it takes them a few minutes to appear in the forum, sometimes temporarily doubled.
