What's up my friends, I'm Matt, this is the 10 minute Bible Hour Podcast, and the funny

thing about sayings is that if you mess with them even a little bit, they suddenly

mean something very different.

For example, I just made this one up, I hope it's going to work, I haven't really tried

this out yet.

Fish and company stink after three days.

You've heard that one?

It's pretty easy to know what it means, right?

Oh, you know, you let fish sit out for too long and they get kind of gross.

So ha ha ha, company can be like fish, and if they're around too long, they go from

being pleasant to very unpleasant, and you're eager for them to be out of your house because

of what the rotting fish or these stayed too long company is doing to the vibe in your home.

But what if we just slightly alter that saying, and what we discover is that, oh no, fish

and company stink after three days is actually an old English saying, and the word for fish

is actually very close to the word for fist, and somebody just misunderstood it.

The real saying is, fists and company stink after three days.

Why would people have said that?

What does it mean?

It gets like fighting with people, gets old after three days because this uses those for

fighting and fight for too long, whereas you down and you want the fight to be over,

if you fight with your company too long, that doesn't feel very good, fists and company,

fishing company.
