And Ian Fleming having a bit of fun with a phrase, shouted from offstage, as it were, in the background of a James Bond novel that has Bond taking the cure in a spa that gave plenty of enemas: "See you later, Irrigator!"
Well, it was racy about nineteen-sixty.

"In the US we say "happy as a clam". In Mexico it's "happy as a worm."
In the UK, we say Happy as Larry or I have even heard ( though a little archaic) "Happy as a sandboy" |

Happy as a pig in clover (or shit)

Once we'd reached our teens my parents didn't watch their mouths quite as closely. The following were brought to mind by the up & down phrase & I think you can work out the subsequent theme:
Up & down like a whore's knickers A whore's breakfast - alcohol before midday A whore's bath - washing pits & bits in the sink Like a whore at a christening - surprisingly decorous behaviour Smells like a tart's boudoir - usually used about men wearing any scent but Brut for Men |

Guy dies goes to heaven. St Peter at the gates to heaven asks his name. Guy tells him, Peter checks and says your not on the list, sorry fellah, you'll have to try downstairs. Guy goes down to the Devil, same thing, so guy asks where he goes now. It's the goblins for you says Satan and directs him down some steps. Steps seem to lead for miles but eventually they end and guy sees three goblins each standing by a door. Guy stops at first goblin and asks what the deal is. Goblin explains that he has to choose to stay in the room behind one of the doors. Thing is though if he refuses a room then he can't go back after. So goblin opens door to first room and guy sees all these people screaming in flames. No thanks he says and moves to the next goblin. This goblin opens his door to reveal all these people up to their necks in in water. No thanks again says the guy not fancying that one bit either (see Wolf, this is where I got the Hell and High Water connection...) Third goblin says well, you've had your chances. He opens the third door and pushes the guy in. It's a strange room. Full of people standing in human excrement (OK, shit!). Funny thing is they're all happily smiling and drinking cups of tea from very nice bone china cups and saucers. But the smell....! Oh, no, thinks the guy, wrong decision, and then he's handed a cup of tea himself. Hmmm, thinks the guy, sipping his tea, not a bad cup. He sips some more. Not bad at all, and, I suppose, although the smells a bit heavy, I will soon get used to it. And sure enough 5 minutes later he's beginning to feel OK about the situation, he's adjusting quite nicely. Just then however a klaxon sounds and a loud voice calls through the loud-speaker. OK, guys and gals, tea-break's over now, back on your heads! OK, perhaps these sorts of jokes do lose a little something over the years....
