Every well digger knows his ass from his elbow and his ass from a hole in the ground, because their job requires them to use a shovel and a bucket to dig down deep into the earth to create a well.

Does this lend credence to the brass monkey and his testicles in regards to cold temperatures?

[HerrBlucher]

The "brass monkey" is a triangular frame used as a base to stack iron cannon balls. Brass contracts more in the cold than iron. When it is very cold, the brass contracts to the point that the iron balls are pushed out of the frame.

>>>credence to the brass monkey…

A brass monkey was a brass rack to hold iron cannon balls on a war ship.

In extreme cold temperatures, the rack would contract and spill the cannon balls.

What are you writing about in reference to testicles?

[Mark17]

That was the other one I was thinking of.
