To bring one up from the past.

"Look, a grasshopper" Tarzan Lieske after he coughed something green up on the sidewalk of the old bank corner.

When I was a little kid my Dad would hire the Eue boys to work on our farm maybe once a year. Mom would make a huge feast for these guys for lunch. After we had washed up we were going to sit down Maynard and Wilbur stopped to inspect the insects that had collected on the fly tape that was hanging near the front door. There was a huge moth that met his demise right in front of Maynards nose. He looked at Wilbur and said "Lookit theres a bomber".

"Git outta heeerrrree!" Said by Warren Felix to us class of '89 boys nearly every day (as he almost spit his teeth onto the floor).
