Dunno. The Hawaiian punch guy always seemed pleased with his job. Especially the parts of his job that involved suckerpunching people when they opened the fridge for a drink.

I've never heard that expression before. Not even my TV worshipping Gran says that!

What hasn't anyone here ever heard of Punch & Judy? Cripes, they've only been doing Punch & Judy shows since the mid 1600's. You know, the puppet show with a man and his wife where the man chases his wife around with a giant bat.

If that were the case, wouldn't "psychotic as Punch" be more appropriate?

Doesn't sound as alliterative.

You know
No, I don't.
Not everyone gets the same TV shows...
(EDIT: Or watches puppet shows, apparently)

Really. No one's heard it. That's odd. Now, it's not in my vocabulary personally, but I've heard it used plenty of times, in casual conversation, in books, and on tv, I guess. Tho I haven't actually watched tv for years.
Next you're going to tell me you've never heard "tickled pink" or "happy as a clam" before.

I've heard the former, but not the latter.

Is that where the phrase comes from?
I've always thought it an odd saying as well.

Heh, I"ve heard about it - its one of those phrases that sinks into the lanuage, till people don't even conciously recall where it same from - and up, its from a 400 year old puppet show.
Also, I gotta say I'm impressed how DCS has been exploring so many new poses for O&M lately.

I've heard all three phrases on a regular basis, I didn't realize they were obscure.
