I always heard the line as "don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining". Maybe it's a regional difference, or a class joke in the Midwestern version.

Yup, thatтАЩs what I grew up hearing. And I was born and raised in Texas. Somehow, boots make more sense. Backs and eyes are difficult targets, or at least they would be for me.

The way I always heard it was "don't piss on my head and tell me it's raining."
I think down Texas way it's 'Don't piss on my boots...' Never been to Texas. Base this on the fact that I heard Dan Rather say it that way. ;-)

Interesting. My dad used to say "don't piss in my eye and tell me that it's raining," for as long as I can remember.
Hmm that's certainly an eye-catching variant! May I ask what region he grew up in?
South Dakota...but he might have learned it in the Navy!
Missouri here. Come to think of it though, I heard it from a sailor too.
I only know the phrase as something Dragon says in Layercake.
