"You're bloody impatient - who's getting hanged here today?!"
Charles Peace, 1879 - He had been using the privy, and had seemed to be taking too long.
"After you Monsieur Alphonse!
No after you Monsieur Gaston!"
From an early 20th Century comic strip.
"Notary sojac."
One of several odd comments that popped up in the comic strip SMOKY STOVER again and again. Another one was the word "Foo".
"We have met the enemy and they is us!"
From Walt Kelly's POGO in the early 1950s (during the McCarthy period).
"I could be an idiot, or I can serve in Congress, but I repeat myself."
Mark Twain.
"He thought it a crow, but it turned out to be
A monk of Saint Benedict's croaking a text.
"He's one of an order of cooks," said he,
"Black friars in this world, fried blanck in the next!!""
"The Devil on Earth, 1712"
Actually the great Ambrose Bierce, THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY, under the definition of "Benedictines".
Heckler: "I would vote for the Devil rather than you!'
Disraeli: "I see. Then I can count on your support if your friend does not run?"
General John Pope - Union General in the Civil War - liked to sign his orders,
"General Pope, headquarters in the saddle!" Lincoln looking at this and judging at the mess of Pope's total defeat at Second Manassas/Second Bull Run at the hands of Lee and Jackson said, "That's the problem, Pope's headquarters are where his hindquarters should be!"
