What's in a saying?

Today has been different from yesterday in that I have been involved in different activities. First, I went to Curves and met two ladies from the state of Oklahoma. I thought that was quite unusual since I have lived in this southern state for 23 year and probably have not met that many from there in those entire years.

Later, my sister and I spent the morning with one of our older church members whose wife has chemo every Tuesday morning and he is not well either. Well, that was a real treat for us because J has a really neat sense of humor and some old sayings that really tickled me. He first mentioned "rocking chair money". Maybe I'm behind times but I had never heard of such a thing but soon learned that he was referring to social security (I guess that makes sense). Later, he talked about someone who didn't "iron his collar". What does that mean, I wondered, and I was unable to figure that one out until he added some additional context; then, I learned that he was referring to someone who tended to be on the lazy side, one who had never done much work, especially outside an office. Would you say this was an interesting time?
