Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - You don't know your ass from a hole in the ground!
Posted: 8/7/2002 9:48:25 PM EDT
I found out where that phrase came from.

Apparently, a new reporter for the NY Times wrote an article in which he confused the spelling of the word "burro" with "burrow."

His editor wrote him a memo which said, "A burro is an ass.  A burrow is a hole in the ground.  As a reporter you are expected to know the difference."

wow, thanks for that.  I've always wondered about that and now I know.  I'm not being sarcastic either.
