Subject: RE: theology question
Once when my uncle, who was born in 1903, stuck a fish hook in his hand, he yelled, "Jesus Hoppin' Christ on a crutch!"

I was fairly small and asked if he had made that up. After apologizing for saying it in the first place, he muttered that he had heard and old man say it when he was a child.

A friend, who was born and grew up in the UK, used the expression, "Good God in a closet!" I've often wondered about the origin of that.
