Okay, let's see if anyone out there can help with this. I've been asked about two phrases that are very familiar but which we ("we" being myself and a friend or two) cannot place.
One is an expression that Keith Olbermann uses a lot: "It's genius! Genius, I tells ya!" Where the heck is that from?
Another is a routine in which a lawyer ticks off a list of things he intends to do that afternoon, and it goes something like this: "Go to the barber…sue the barber…go to the bank…sue the bank…" On this one, I'm thinking Monty Python and hearing Michael Palin or maybe Eric Idle, but I can't precisely identity the routine.
Anyone know for sure about either one? If you can, the e-mail link is over on the right to let me know. Thanks.
