My grandfather used to say; “You eat a pound of dirt before you die”.

Don’t recall him mentioning the bug limit.

My grandfather used to say; “You eat a pound of dirt before you die”.

Ha! My mother used to say something along the same line: "You eat a peck of dirt before you die," and I think she was quoting her mother. Nobody I've heard uses peck (1/4 bushel) as a measurement anymore.
