pirate when they wanted to torture someone they would starp them there, so forth being caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. made sense to me

Always laugh when you can. It is cheaper than medicine

lets see if some one can explain this one

caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
Many of our present day usages of saying have come from the history of the Royal Navy.
It may be contested...but the devil was reference to the gunnel on a rowboat used in the early days of the British Navy. In very rough waters the devil was the only thing between life and death.

But here is one which also originates from the early history of the Royal Navy.

Gee....do you think anyone has heard this one before....lol!

'It is cold enough to freeze the balls off of a brass monkey'.

This certainly conveys specific images that makes you wonder!!!

But if is nowhere as naughty as you may think....lol!

Historic fact:
In the early days of exploration and conquests, British warships were heavily armed with cannons.
Of course every British Navy ship was built in England and therefore all materials were produced there.
As these ships sailed into areas of extreme temperature change there were surprising affects on certain building materials.
One of them was 'The Brass Monkey'. This was the square mount which was secured to the deck and was used for stacking the cannon balls next to the cannon.
In extreme cold, the Brass Monkey would contract thus forcing the cannon balls to roll off of them.

There you have it...so you can now stop looking around for a statue of a brass monkey...:laugh:

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.
