I'll Give You 20 Minutes to Stop That

This is something that I heard when I was a youth. Warren Weston, our neighbor, had a plethora of sundry idioms that he would employ consistently. He would grab one of his boys and tickle them while he recited all the things they had been eating.

• Ham
• Weiners
• Eggs

etcetera. But the one that stuck with me was when someone was hugging him or scratching his back he would say:

I will give you twenty minutes to quit that!

It stuck, so I tucked it away in my quiver of quotes.
