    1. Old Expressions: Good Morning
    2. Pam Moehling
    3. Hi, This old expression still is used by all of my family, especially for newlyweds.. I promise this is the last one I'll post... There were these 4 old maids who lived in a boarding house together..they got to be very good friends over time..and they soon began to date some fellers from the area..which was really something exciting for all of them..and they wanted to be able to talk a little about their dates but didn't want all of the other boarders to know exactly what was going on..so they all decided that the morning after they had gone out they would come down to breakfast and if any of them had had a good time and uh "got lucky"..they would use the words "Good Morning" in a sentence for each time ..that should keep it private enough and it would be their little secret... So, they all had their dates and the next morning came and one of them says, Good Morning" and the rest nodded and then another one said "Good Morning, This Morning".. and the other old maids nodded..well the third old maid chimed in and said "Good Morning, This Morning, Fine Morning, This Morning, If all Mornings Were Like This Morning, they'd all be Fine Mornings.. and the fourth old maid said "Hi"... <g,g,g> Pam Researching the following surnames: BURKE, CARTER, PATRICK, WINGO, McGRADY, WIMBERLEY, WITT/WHITT, HENSLEY, ROBERTSON.
