Joe - it is!!!!!

Imagine2frolic - "...brass monkey" is one of my favorites from the old sailing ship days, as is "three square meals a day", as the wooden plates on sailing ships in the British Navy were all made square for easier storage and so they wouldn't roll around on a ship.

...and most folks think that the good old southern expression "God willing and the creek don't rise" refers to some long lost meandering stream (creek) that will rise and flood you out. It actually comes from the Creek Indian uprising of 1813 and so it it really "God willing and the Creek don't rise"
