Concerning "that's all she wrote", who exactly is "she", and how come "she" does write much of anything?

This is what we found, through a quick search of Google....

: Biblical origins. Think of St Peter. Think of the omnipresent medieval church and think of hitting your thumb with a hammer. You can't swear, else the local priests will have you up before the Bishop and the Lord alone knows what the outcome of that will be, so you exclaim, in appropriate tone of voice, "For Saint Peter's sake" and carry on erecting the shelves. This phrase was amended to "For Pete's Sake" in later, less religiously oppressive, times.


You're welcome

Dan does.

Also, concerning the phrase, "they say....." - who are "they", and why does what "they" say carry so much clout?

That must be like 'it ain't over til the fat lady sings"

Hmmmmm........you mean the fat lady ISN'T Kate Smith? That's another thing I guess I didn't know.....

Who was John in the original "Dear John"?

There are many things I still don't know but nothing that will make me or break me.

What if your name really IS John Doe!??

Or why is it "John Doe"? Shouldn't it be "John Buck"?

Why is a pineapple called a pineapple? It's not an apple, and it doesn't come from a pine tree....

YES!!!! John Buck and JANE Doe

Hummmmmmm for some reason I figured that Dan would know about them speedos............ lol wonder if his are pink to match his purse as well????????.........................

This is what i found..

The standard theory about "That's all she wrote" is that it arose during World War II and refers to the "Dear John letters" received by many servicemen from their sweethearts back home bluntly announcing the end of their relationships. Such letters were so common during the war that "That's all she wrote" may have originally been the punch line to a joke: a GI (in some versions, not even named John) receives a letter containing only the salutation "Dear John," with the "It's over" part left unwritten and implicit. When questioned by his buddies about the rest of the letter's contents, he replies, "That's all she wrote."

In modern times though, this could refer to the amount of overdraft checks written to wal-mart.

Oh, you never saw the picture of him and his pink suitcase, did ya?

Have I been wrong all this time in thinking the rock group KISS invented speedos?

OMG Mark...LMAO

I don't know but they need to UNinvent them. Speedos are NEVER a good thing! ick

Where the hell did THAT come from??
