It’s just one of those old dumb sayings that people trot out when they have a point to make. It’s nice when you guys think I’m only going to put encyclopedic information into a comic strip- that shows an astounding amount of faith in my ability to make dry facts into something funny, but really, I’m just going to make The Buckets talk the way people talk, in order to efficiently communicate a funny concept… like the fact that it doesn’t matter WHAT you call a remote control, ‘cause it ain’t gonna come when you call it.
