Ask the Old Fanner: My mother used to refer
to one of my uncles as "Mad as a March hare."
I never knew whether she meant he was angry
or a little off now and then. Can you tell me
what it means? J.H., Harrisburg, Pa.
It's an old English saying. March is the mating
season for hares, and they behave like something
crazy.
Home Hints: Old socks are good to wrap shoes in
when packing to travel
