Don’t Strain Your Milk When Lifting

We heard from Mick Veeham in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.

He wrote us that when he was a teenager, he spent summers working with a handyman from Texas, and that job involved a lot of heavy lifting, literally. And Mick writes, as we would be getting set to lift some monstrosity of an item, he would say something like, son, get your legs under it. You don’t want to strain your milk.

And Mick said that he’d never heard that expression before or since, but apparently it’s a thing. Apparently a lot of people say, you don’t want to strain your milk, don’t strain your milk.

And what do they mean by that? Just the place where your milk goes, the abdomen? You don’t want to strain your abdominal muscles? You know, I haven’t been able to figure that one out except that apparently it’s used by a lot of farmers and it might just be a pun on straining your milk, which you do on a dairy farm.

There’s no heavy lifting and you won’t strain your milk if you call us at 877-929-9673.
