Others have probably heard it, but I heard it from an old Houmas Indian who had hunted bounty in the Indian Territory in Oklahoma during the 1920's and 1930's (my grandfather). He did a lot of hangings when the locals were too scared to do them down in Texas. I've actually been to one of the sites where he did a few hangings. The owner of the store in the late 1960's remembered him.

One of his favorite sayings was:

"Believe nothing that you hear, and only half of what you see."

That saying is apparently older than I thought it was.

Yeah that is the trouble with Texas, we have a saying for everything. Closer you get to the border we may have a story for every situation as well, half the time they do not even apply.

Thats why everything takes twice as long on a south texas ranch, tell a damn tumble weed a story if it will sit still long enough.

My mom and aunt from Arkansas said I'll swan when they were surprised. This guy has an explanation for this phrase. I wondered if it was related to swooning.
