there's wisdom in some of those tales.

Never trust a big butt and a smile.

Don't let your alligator mouth get your hummingbird ass into trouble.
This is probably the reason why every relationship I've ever had had failed.
Old Husband's Tales are no more reliable.
Many years ago, a car battery case was made of a rubber asphalt compound. It conducted small amounts of electric current and would go dead if left on any damp surface. For this reason, batteries were never stored on the floor.
This changed in the 70's when polypropylene plastic was used for battery cases. Going dead on the floor was no longer a problem.
A few years ago, I had a yard sale and there were two new car batteries for sale. They were sitting on the driveway, and at least 5 people stopped to tell me it was bad to leave batteries on the ground.
Well yes and no, true about asphalt cases but can depend on the polypropylene. Battery cases are frequently made from recycled plastic usually the poorer grades. If the plastic source is contaminated, think china sourced. there may be leakage almost as bad as asphalt cases. Why take a chance set it on a board just in case.
Interesting: look up the source of the saying lock, stock and barrel.
What's the difference between a fire plug and a fire hydrant?
so no tales?
