Assunto: | Re: as mad as a hatter |
Mensagem: | Tom, I always figured the 'hatch' in 'booby-hatch' or the more common 'nut-hatch' refered to hatch in the verb sense, as in to hatch an egg. In other words, the loony-bin is where nuts are hatched. If you're not crazy when you go in, you will be before long. |
