I was in Sam's a few months ago and there was a man there with what I assume where his two sons. The bigger one looked to be about 13. And he was not looking where he was going and he bumped into me pretty hard.

 

And then he shocked me absolutely and completely.

 

He said, "Excuse me, sir".

I used to use "I'll bet you dollars to donuts" a lot.  Can't use it now that donuts cost over a dollar.

 

Actually, I do catch myself saying it occasionally before reminding myself it doesn't make sense anymore. 

I couldn't tell you where I first heard it.

Boy, ain't that the truth! I found out about a bakery fairly close so Mary and I drove over. Mary went in and come out with two boxes of rolls, fritters and longjohns. Looking at the price list she also got,  it was over $20! I use to fill the gas gusting Olds with gas, take Mary to the drive-in and stop at A&W and eat burger, fries and root beer on $20.
