I've never heard that before

Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.

Some years ago, David Letterman had a segment on his show where he talked about certain phrases he had heard. He had speculated that these phrases may have never been spoken before. For instance, he heard a host of a late night infomercial say the phrase, "Let's measure Pablo's bald spot." Dave even showed the segment of the infomercial where they actually measured (before and after) Pablo's bald spot. He proposed that no one, in the history of the English language, had ever said those words in that order. In the weeks that followed, they would add to the list with other various phrases that he (or his sidekick Paul) had heard. I seem to recall one from the Home Shopping Network involving Swiss candlestick holders.

Since that time, I have been on the lookout for phrases that perhaps were never uttered before. I think I may have one.

Right before I got married I had a roommate. He had a young daughter and she would stay with us every other weekend. One day the father was eating a donut and dipping it in some milk he was drinking. The daughter was eating bologna and drinking orange juice. Now as children often do, she was imitating her father causing him to say the phrase, "Don't dip your bologna in your orange juice." May I suggest to you that no one had ever (nor has since) uttered that phrase. I surely hope that is the case anyway.

Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
