Southern Fried Expression
"Well,don't that just take the rag off the bush!"
Used to illustrate an appalling, or sorry act.
Origin: If the clothesline was full or the people were too poor for one, wet clothes would be layed over bushes or small trees to dry. If you were so poor all you had were rags and no clothesline to dry them on even and they were stolen-well that's pretty sorry.
