During the American Civil war the average amputation took 12 minutes. It's also the source of the old term "saw bones".
All this time I thought Sawbones was a basement bar in Caldwell New Jersey that is run by a guy who is generally so hammered, he actually thinks he owns a real bar. "Are you going to stop by Sawbones on your way home? Ummm I dont't know...that place is depressing and the guy who runs it tells you the same stories over and over again."
Red beans and cornbread. Hmmm...hmmm...hmmm You boys in New York got no idea what I'm talkin' 'bout, huh?
