Something to do with the location of the engine. I guess the expression came into common use while the Beetle was still in production.Hippohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09468795398813061897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-61546416190330362492012-08-19T02:54:03.737-07:002012-08-19T02:54:03.737-07:00Clearly, those under whose withering gaze we fall ...Clearly, those under whose withering gaze we fall know us all too well then. You have obviously demonstrated your varied skills and here the girls would refer to you as that most deirable creature who can turn his hand to anything, a Black & Decker Man (I kid you not, that's what they would call you and it is a serious compliment from anyone here). Expectations of you, therefore, are evidently high.<br /><br />Sadly I kept my light so well hidden I have forgotten where I put it...Hippohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09468795398813061897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-77061481418433704622012-08-18T13:15:51.510-07:002012-08-18T13:15:51.510-07:00I get withering looks when I say, "I can'...I get withering looks when I say, "I can't do that".Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-85003101647206506132012-08-18T07:40:25.599-07:002012-08-18T07:40:25.599-07:00There are certain things I just would not attempt ...There are certain things I just would not attempt because I know I would bugger it up.
