Need Cracker Jack saying

17 years 6 days ago #132396 by CrewChief
Hmmmm, let me think....

Maybe something about being better than the prize inside a box of Cracker Jacks.

Meaning:To be very good at something.

Origin:"Crack" means of superior excellence of ability as in "he's a crack shot" meaning excellent, superb. "Jack" being like "Joe", a common man. "Cracker jack" thus means a Superb man, any man. Curiously "cracker" is defined as a bragging liar, which is very much in contrast to "cracker jack" which implies someone who delivers.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same."

Do one of you talented ladies have a 1 - liner I could use for teacher appreciation. We want to put a tag on bags of Cracker Jacks for appreciation week (okay, later this week, I know, I know . . .). We did Moon Pies with "Thank you for helping our kids shoot for the Moon!" Now I need a little ditty for the Cracker Jacks!

Thank you for any ideas!
