In George Washington's day, one's image was either sculpted or painted. Some paintings of George Washington showed him standing behind a desk with one arm behind his back while others showed both legs and both arms. Prices charged by painters were not based on how many people were to be painted, but by how many limbs were to be painted. Arms and legs are "limbs" therefore painting them would cost the buyer more. Hence the expression "Okay, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg,"

DL, Been riding a horse since I was 4 years old, so I ain't about to fall off regardless of how high he is. If you think the drivel posted by Tiger Paw, Knightly Tin, and Sler, is legitimate humor, then the ignorance is in your pea sized brain. Now, don't forget to go and get your government dole on Monday. I would hate to see you have to work for your tucker. If you've got anything else to say, bring it on. I enjoy the easy marks every now, and then. But you will probably go bawling to SI, like the rest of your liberal maggots.
