| Reference Reference information: Hello Judging from the French translation, does it mean "pain from my corns/my painful corns"...ie. what you get on your feet...?? http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=bNM8AAAAYAAJ&pg=PA172&lpg... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 mins (2010-06-13 13:53:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:661K8Qx... Aches and pains A coming storm your shooting corns presage, And aches will throb, your hollow tooth will rage. There have been medical studies done which indicate some people experience this effect.[21] The most likely reason is that with a fall in atmospheric pressure, blood vessels dilate slightly in reaction. This has the effect of aggravating already-irritated nerves near corns, cavities, or arthritic joints.[22] Studies are inconclusive, however, with some researchers attributing this effect to selective memory. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 58 mins (2010-06-13 14:30:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=corns on feet dermatology p... so, at that time, if the corns on your feet were growing, it was a sign of rain coming The wife "mishears" and says "horns" which at that time meant a cuckolded husband. Hence the joke and the wife's laughter. this is my understanding:) |
