Yesterday I was in the waiting room of a clinic, and was shamelessly eavesdropping on the conversation of the couple that was sitting next to me. They were both elderly, and from their accents I'd guess they were probably from the backwoods of Kentucky. The woman was worrying that the previous night's frost had killed the blossoms on their pear tree, and her husband pointed out that it didn't make any difference, since the deer would just eat the pears once they got to a certain size. The woman laughed and told him that he just needed to set up a lawn chair for himself and sit out there shooing them off all day. Then she said (and this is why I'm telling this here instead of the People thread on sake) "That's you a job," meaning "that's a job for you," said in a way that indicated that she was jokingly assigning him the task. Have you ever heard of a construction like that? I was pretty taken with it (and with them, really. They were pretty charming. The pear comment was the only thing that the guy said that wasn't "Well, I don't rightly know," "Well, that could be, but I really can't say," or "I could believe that, but I don't know it."
