I’ve got a lot of thyme on my hands” was posted on Twitter on February 15, 2013. “Did you hear about the farmer who made gloves out of his herbs? He had way too much thyme on his hands” was posted on Twitter on June 5, 2017.

Ugh, someone spilled culinary herbs inside my gloves. Looks like I’m gonna have a lot of thyme on my hands.

Yesterday, my neighbour made a pair of gloves using nothing but herbs from her garden. Clearly, she has too much thyme on her hands.

Just made myself a pair of gloves by stitching a large quantity of herbs together. I have a lot of thyme on my hands.

My friend was so bored he made gloves out of herbs.
He had far too much thyme on his hands.
