For those of you old enough to remember the saying, I've finally figured out the difference:

Shinola.jpg

For those of you old enough to remember Steve Martin's movie, The Jerk, there's a line referring to the saying.
For those of you with no idea what I'm writing about, forget it.
[And if you just gotta know, PM me]
 
Cool find. Ken. Like Don, I had heard the saying long before the movie. I guess it never dawned on me that some folks wouldn't know what Shinola was.
 
I know the saying preceded the movie. I just added that so the somewhat younger folks, who hadn't heard the original, might recognize it from the Jerk.
 
I'm faniliar with the saying, but here in Canada I'm more used to hearing that certain people cannot distinguish a certain part of their bodies from a hole in the ground, or that they can't find the same body part in the dark with both hands.
