The name "Old Dutch the Super-Cow" is a play on "Comet the Super-Horse". Old Dutch Cleanser is a now-obscure, but once common brand of cleaning powder.

My hair smells like smoke. Yesterday, I was visiting with a buddy and his roommate lit a fire in the fireplace, which was obviously faulty because the house got damn smokey in the space of half an hour.
Now I'll have to wash my hair again, even though I just did it yesterday evening before I went out...

My first job as a teenager was bagging groceries in a supermarket. I had a regular customer, an older lady, who would always tell me "Have a beautiful day in the Lord" as she was leaving. I thought that was kind of inappropriate, but I knew she meant no harm by it, so I always just smiled and thanked her.
About ten years later, when I was in grad school, I was relating this to a rather cynical classmate who asked "As opposed to what? A beautiful day in the bar?"

I got a notice from the Boston Public Library that the book I requested was now in. I requested the book back in September. When I requested it I was number 121 in the queue.

When I was a kid I thought 'Jay walking' was people walking around naked in public. I wrongly made a connection between the phrase 'naked as a jay bird' and the phrase 'jay walking'.

When I was a kid, I would often see the phrase "hors d'oeuvres" written, but didn't know how to pronounce it, so even though I knew what hors d'oeuvres were when people would talk about them, I didn't make the connection between the spoken phrase and the written phrase for a long time.

I'm amazed that Americans still use the term "hors d'oeuvres" because it's so darn hard to spell correctly. "Canapes" isn't much better. In the South, when we're not being fancy, we just call it "finger food."
