Old Fanner’s Riddle: Why do bedroom slippers last so long?
(Answer below )
Ask the Old Farmer: A friend
and I had an argument about
the familiar saying “a chip
on his shoulder.” Could you
set us straight as to its
meaning and origin? C.S.,
Boston.
It was a variety of chal
lenge. The probable begin
ning was when a knight
hung his shield on a post,
which meant that he dared
anyone to strike it. If any
one did, a fight' followed.
Same with the chip.
