I think it works both ways. It was something that was told to me many moons ago. I sort of like it the opposite way I posted it as well, but I always repeat it the way Mr. Hughes said it, mostly out of respect.

I think the statement said either way is why heavy mouthed dogs get a pass, and then late in the game they hang it up. Mouth "hides" a lot of faults for a lot of people. EWO
