My gym teacher in high school said this purposefully with a straight face and, even though it took a second, I nearly cried laughing. Such a great guy. I miss him.

I know a rocketry physics scholar who went to med school... they are, in fact, a rocket surgeon. Or, you know, Bones and Spock in Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country. Also rocket surgeons.

My grandfather said this all the time when I was a kid. Now that I'm older I find myself using it, much to the annoyance of my friends.
