Thanks! I thought I was the only person who did NOT like the line.

Lynda replies: That makes sense. At least at first. But then, a niggling
part of my brain remembers that certainly that phrase or one very similar
has been used--in point of fact, I remember my own mother, who refuses to
watch Aliens, knows nothing of the movie and is not a woman prone to even
the slightest form of swearing (seriously I never heard even darn or dang
from her growing up) taking on a family member who chose to verbally attack
a child using those very words. When I asked her about the incident, she
simply said I'm tired of it and she had it coming.
