Jed rattles thru them real quick. Its hillarious. But I can't find it anywhere.
This isn't right but it goes something like:

2 sprinkles in a shake
3 shakes in a little bit
4 little bits in an a pinch
7 pinches in a ...


...5 armfuls in a bushell
2 bushells in a whole heap.

I found this on a beverly hillbilly fan website. It sounds 'bout right.

Mountain Measurements

1 smigeon = teensy l'il bit
3 smigeons = pinch
4 pinches = little bit
4 little bits = a middlin' amount
3 middlin' amounts = 1 right smart amount
5 right smarts = a whole heap
