025 - Not worth his Salt ; Above the salt ; take it with a grain of salt - tinkers dam

Are you worth your salt?  and why do we 'take something with a grain of salt'?  And another question from a listener asks whether "Not worth a Tinker's dam" is profanity.  I assure them it is not and where it comes from.  Another jam packed exciting episode.

Phil gives a big THUMBS UP to his gall bladder  !! And you should too
