I asked Don Quixote (fount of all useless and sometimes useful knowledge): Honey, you know how they used to hang a bell outside of caskets because sometimes they would bury someone alive by mistake? I know that we get one of our idioms from that, but I can't remember what it is.
Don to Mom:
They had people who worked the graveyard shift so that dead ringers could be saved by the bell.
Mom to Don:
Show-off.
(but don't you think it is funny that we get *three* of our idioms from one situation?)
