Subject: Re: Sam Hill



"Sam Hill" was also something I picked up from the kids from Kansas when I

was growing up in San Antonio, Texas. I have always thought the expression

was a taboo deformation of "damn hell."





Does Yosemite Sam ever use "Sam Hill," you rootin', tootin', flea-baggin'

varmint?!
