Back in the day, for a few weeks I alibied for a Mom & Pop operation that had a few joints and a couple of kid rides.

I should have said a Mom operation because the mama wore the pants in that outfit. She wore them tight too :)

Ms. Debbie was a tough lady to work for. You definitely didn't want to get loose with your stock and I don't even wanna tell you what happened when she caught an agent red-handed going south one time.

Anyway, on that show, whenever we wanted to encourage a buddy to work a mark a little stronger we'd always say "Make Mother Proud of You". It was a pretty popular phrase then that you heard in common conversation and meant just about the opposite of what we meant by saying it.

You don't hear that saying much anymore, do you?

I wonder what we'd have to say now, "Make Yourself Proud of You"?
