Well, for me, it was in around 1961 just before I turned 10 years old. One or two days a week during the summer I would go work with my dad (and get out of my mom's hair ). He had his own small business. I would hang out and help as much as a 9 year old kid could. Sometimes we would make a "run to the bank," usually to make a deposit. On one such occasion it turned out to the the 3rd of the month. The bank was overflowing with old folks. My dad, just rolled his eyes and said, "Oh boy, it looks like the eagle just ****." It was later explained to me that the old folks would get their Social Security checks on the 3rd of the month and RUN to the bank to cash them.

I also recall one time when my mom announced loudly to my dad when he got home one evening that a nice sized income tax refund had arrive. She did so by saying, "Look Shug, the eagle ****."

Wow , with so many folks now getting government handouts, I guess the eagle has a bad case of diarrhea.
