Once upon a time ... will be a weekly feature of this blog.
I love cliches. I use them all the time (I know - bad habit). I find their origins interesting. The evolution of these phrases is usually fascinating. Today's version seldom resembles much of the original useage yet one can see how it evolved into it's modern definition.
Once Upon A Time...
A Rule of Thumb
In the 1400s a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb.
Happily ever after (atleast til 2008)...
A good rule to live by, a good general principle.
