A popular lino.

From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959
(Roger Price:Hoffwoman) In Price's In One Head And Out The Other, the bible of Avoidism, his character Clayton Slope "had a clever trick of saying any conceivable sentence so that it sounded like 'I had one grunch but the eggplant over there'". Fans find the expression useful, too.
