(POPULAR SAYING)

MABEL AND HENRY WERE WALKING ACROSS A RAILROAD TRACK AND
HENRY GOT HIS FOOT STUCK. MABEL SAID, "HENRY PULL YOUR
FOOT OUT." HENRY SAID, "I CAN'T. IT'S STUCK."
"HENRY PULL YOUR FOOT OUT." "I CAN'T, IT'S STUCK."
HERE COMES A TRAIN, 90 MILES AN HOUR. BAM. POOR HENRY.
HIS HEAD IS OVER HERE. HIS ARM IS OVER THERE. HIS LEG
IS IN THE CORNFIELD. MABEL STANDS THERE AND SAYS, "FOR
PETE'S SAKE, HENRY, PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER."

Submitter comment: TO BE TOLD WITH THE TONGUE IN FRONT OF THE BOTTOM
TEETH.
