"You're no daisy, you're no daisy at all. I think the strain was too much to bare." From one of my favorite movies.
Anyone remember this one, "Want some more beans Mr. Taggart?" "No, I think you boys have had enough."
I think you meant "bear" rather than "bare," right?
Perhaps Johnny Ringo was indeed "just too high-strung," but being shot in the heart by Doc Holliday didn't help his health all that much either. ("Tombstone," obviously...)
"Blazing Saddles," certainly that movie title could be employed for a spanking story as well...
