THE OLD
Ask the Old Farmer: One line in the sea
chantey ''Blow the Man Down" goes,
"Give me some time to blow the man
down " What specific situation or action
does that refer to? S.F., Holland, Mich.
It simply means to set a pace that leaves
the other fellar out of breath.
Home Hints: Hot vinegar will remove paint
from glass
