About Golf Balls

Michael M asked:


In the 1400’s a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed
to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb.

When you pulled on the ropes, the mattress tightened,
making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the
phrase…’Goodnight , sleep tight’

It was the accepted
practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the
wedding, the bride’s father would supply his son-in-law with
all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because
their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the
honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon.

In English pubs, ale
is ordered by pints and quarts… So in old England , when
customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them ‘Mind
your pints and quarts, and settle down.’ It’s where we get
the phrase ‘mind your P’s and Q’s’

Many years ago in
England , pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim, or
handle, of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill ,
they used the whistle to get some service. ‘Wet your whistle’
is the phrase inspired by this practice.
