Say you could nail nine nails in de floor of somebody's home and keep them down all the time - I've heard that.

Where do they nail them? (Yes.) Under the bed that they sleep in or somewhere near where they be all the tine; or around the stove or the table, where they'd have to, you know, often Pass over.
