I keep seeing a FOR SALE sign, nailed to a fence on a property, along the road i travel into town......
As I pass, I only get to read the first few words of the sign, and they are .......COW AND CALF.......
And everytime I see it, I hear Jack talking to Ennis about "maybe havin a cow and calf operation goin"

I just *love* this thread :D. It's so amazing that this long after the movie we these allusions crop up in our day-to-day lives regularly.
Katie - yours reminds me of a realty sign I see on my commute, which I believe I've reported before - It's for 'Farm and Home Realty' but my brain always translates it to 'Farm and Ranch'.
And I have a new one! Today, I noticed that one of the 'founding' families in Winchester, TN - the Henley's (they own sawmills, lumberyards, etc...) - have opened a new business. Below the words 'Henley's Self-Storage' were "Trailers for Sale or Rent". Because the line was in quotes, I have to believe they are familiar with the song (or their sign-maker was!). ;)

and today I was dealing with a client who was delaing with a police detective called Mr Brockie. I kept not seeing the C!
Delmardeb:

My feelings too, Lynne........and also the fact that we can write it down and send it in here, and know that everyone understands...............
