Steve's just joshin' with yall. He knows everything on this porch is free. And he's only offering his wit.
Hey, does anybody know where "just joshing with you" came from? I'm gonna have to go look that one up. Never actually typed the phrase out or wrote it down and now it just looks weird.
I love rambling on and on and on. Kinda like the energizer bunny. on and on and on...

I had to find out about "Just Joshing". So if anyone else wants to know, (and you probably don't) here's what I found out anyway.
Where did the term just joshing you come from?
In: Word and Phrase Origins [Edit]
"Just joshing you" came from the mid 1800's and has a very interesting story behind it!
Josh Tatum was a deaf mute, but a very enterprising young man from the midwest. In the 1850's the US Mint came out with a new nickel. It was deemed the Liberty nickel and on the reverse side had a large roman numeral V stamped on it. The new nickel did not have 5 cents or nickel stamped on it. Josh Tatum noticed this and the fact that it was nearly the same size as the US $5.00 gold piece, which at the time was used as common currency. With the help of a friend familiar in gold electroplating base metal, they turned these coins into a literal gold mine. Tatum went from town to town going into shops, stores & mercantiles. He was very careful not to purchase anything that cost more than a nickel, where he would hand over one of these gold plated nickels. The clerk would accept the coin, and in most instances give Josh back $4.95 in change, which he happily would take. By the time law enforcement caught up to him, he had visited hundreds of towns & had amassed a small fortune!.
The Law prosecuted him but ironcially he was found not guilty on the most serious charges, because he only purchased items that totaled 5 cents, and because he was deaf & could not speak he never represented that it was a new $5.00 gold piece.
The US mint ended up re-doing the V nickel to bring this type of fraud to a halt.
Hence the famous saying "your not Joshing me are you"?
