the subject line is something that i say, not infrequently, based on a joke that my parents told me to explain why they used to say it. (there are a lot of stock phrases in my family that are punchlines to very old jokes.) i went online and found a version of it--not the exact version that i heard from my folks, but close enough to give you all
