If any Asians do like to eat cats, it is alright with me. But I still say there is more than one way to skin a rabbit, and I don't want to know about any way to skin a cat. I always thought the expression was "bold faced lie" also.Realistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193860341876403275.post-49975098225025436242010-05-25T16:00:24.155-05:002010-05-25T16:00:24.155-05:00Realist, I know this one!

I am no great cat fancier, but why would a sane person skin a cat? I grew up being told that "there's more than one way to skin a rabbit." I also grew up raising, harvesting, dressing, and eating rabbits. It does not bother me to think about skinning rabbits, but I would like people to stop talking about skinning cats.Realistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193860341876403275.post-79436795082430840342010-05-25T11:06:54.044-05:002010-05-25T11:06:54.044-05:00Thanks Jim.

The ...Paul's right. According to Wiki Answers:<br />The correct term is bald-faced, and refers to a face without whiskers. Beards were commonly worn by businessmen in the 18th and 19th century as an attempt to mask facial expressions when making business deals. Thus a bald-faced liar was a very good liar indeed, and was able to lie without the guilt showing on his face.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927133938857523885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193860341876403275.post-86047785298818282882010-05-25T09:48:16.607-05:002010-05-25T09:48:16.607-05:00Well, I'll be doggone!
