I’m sorry, folks. I thought this was a common, universally understood phrase. Guess it’s become archaic. And as loathe as I am to explaining a joke, I’ll break my rule this time. It simply means it doesn’t make any difference. One person says six, while another says a half dozen. The result is the same, like saying, tom-AY-to or tom-AH-to. Guess I’ll have to do another cartoon to update it with more current terminology.
