Don’t bother showing up to a party unless you’re ringing the doorbell with your elbow. In other words, BYOB. This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Ring The Doorbell With Your Elbow”
Grant, do you know the expression, ring the doorbell with your elbow?
No.
I was introduced to this on our Facebook page by David Otto Waddell. He writes, I went with my wife to visit one of her friends. Her friend offered me some of her husband’s beer, which I was glad to consume. Later on, her husband came home and he was not too pleased. His subtle hint to me was, next time you come, ring the door with your elbow.
Oh, it means that you have something in your hand. You’re bringing your own.
Exactly.
Exactly. In fact, yeah, yeah, there’s a joke about, you know, come up to 5M and ring the doorbell with your elbow. And when the door opens, push it open with your foot. And the guy goes, why should I use my elbow and my foot? And the person says, well, you’re not coming empty-handed, are you? Ba-dump-bum.
Sorry.
Yeah, it was a joke. You’re supposed to laugh.
