More ways to skin a cat

(1/4) > >>

Joel:
I was reading one of Ray's email replies the other day, and he used the skin a cat phrase. I'm from the south and we use to skin the cat on a tree limb or any type of bars. Any one have any like experiences? I got what Ray meant in his writing, approaching things from different view points. Just reminded me of the old days that's all.

Dave in Tenn:
I'm a military brat from a southern family.  That's the only way I've heard it used, I think...as an expression of doing the same thing in various ways.  But I don't have a clue where it came from.

Joel:
Hi Dave,
In my young days, as a kid climbing trees, we had more than one way to fall out of one also ;D, and some where are another my first time introduction to the term was in the gangs jargon. Didn't know it had a broader meaning until later in life. 8) I thought up until then, it was our fancy dismount. :D

Cypress:
Why would they skin cats?

I'm a crazy cat lady. No skinning the cats!  :)
