U sed it
‘Heavens to Murgatroyd’ is American in origin and dates from the mid 20th century. The expression was popularized by the cartoon character Snagglepuss - a regular on the Yogi Bear Show in the 1960s, and is a variant of the earlier ‘heavens to Betsy’.
My Dad likes to call whatever car I drive(including the brand new one) a buggy. He’s always used the word, but I’ve never told him I hate the word “buggy” for a car.

Change of Pace;
After 35 years of marriage, a husband and wife came for counseling. When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a tirade listing every problem they had ever had in all the years they had been married. On and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she endured. Finally, after allowing this for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and after asking the wife to stand, he embraced and kissed her long and passionately as her husband watched - with a raised eyebrow. The woman shut up and quietly sat down in a daze. The therapist turned to the husband and said, “This is what your wife needs at least 3 times a week. Can you do this?” “Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays ..but I deer hunt on Fridays.
Lol!
“See ya later, alligator! Okey Dokey!”
No, it’s “See ya later, alligator!” “In a while, crocodile!”
They spelled it wrong. It's "Murgatroyd."
Was he the “Exit stage left” guy?
I’m giving you a couple bits for the tip. Most these people don’t now their ass from an apple cart anyway
I thought that was from Walt Disney’s “Pinocchio,” my FRiend.
I remember another one also...”not too soon you big baboon”.
Thank you sodpoodle for the humor. I have two to add:
A woman asks her husband if he’d like some breakfast. “Would you like bacon and eggs, perhaps? A slice of toast and maybe some grapefruit and coffee?” she asks.
He declines. “Thanks for asking, but I’m not hungry right now. It’s this Viagra,” he says. “It’s really taken the edge off my appetite.”
At lunch time, she asks if he would like something. “A bowl of soup, homemade muffins, or a cheese sandwich?” she inquires. He declines. “The Viagra,” he says, “really trashes my desire for food.”
Come dinnertime, she asks if he wants anything to eat. “Would you like a juicy porterhouse steak and scrumptious apple pie? Or maybe a rotisserie chicken, or tasty stir fry?” He declines again. “Nah, still not hungry.”
“Well,” she said, “would you mind letting me up? I’m starving.”

Thoughts to ponder:
1. I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.
2. There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead.
3. Life is sexually transmitted.
4. Healthy is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
5. The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.
Yes
I’m not that old, relatively speaking (62), but I frequently have to stop and translate the words, expressions, slang, and idioms I employ in my lectures to late teen/early twenties college students.
“Or right evennn.”
That was a swell article.
