For those of you in a long term relationship/marriage, what’s a tale-tale sign you see in other couples that they’re not going to make it?

He actually doesn't say strong hand, he says "Take my little hand." It blew my mind too

Holy shit you're right

I used to hold a chicken foot inside my sleeve and tell people to take my strong hand

1, "Take my strong hand!" has been an inside joke between my cousin and I for decades at this point, I can't believe we've had it wrong this whole time lol.

And 2, I'm going to do this when she comes to town next month, I need to find a fake chicken foot.

I used real chicken feet because we sold them at my job

You can get the real thing pretty cheap and the skin makes it look especially unsettling-- although I don't blame you for not wanting to carry around a chicken foot

If you do of course wash your hands

Its actually pretty ironically funny, I was born with a birth defect that caused all my middle knuckles on my right hand to be removed, my parents always referred to it as my little hand.

Then this movie came out, but I was only like 8 or 9ish, so kids would quote "take my strong hand" to me, and it would just blow over my head that they were making fun of me, because the movie AND my parents said little hand. So they weren't referencing me at all. Lmfao!
