"Rectum...Damn near killed 'em"

I've heard this saying so many times throughout my life, and tried to find out where it came from.

ALAS...to no avail.

Anyone care to take a stab at it?

Much appreciated! It's driving me bOnKeRs.

It's an old West saying stemming from when someone tried to choke another person with a rectum. The saying means today that you shouldn't run and eat at the same time or you could get a side ache.

Actually
I have no idea...

Oh

don't I feel like a geek then ? I thought it was a play on 'wrecked em'

Hubby once told me that it has to do with being a punch-line at the end of a joke.

If that's the case, What the heck was the beginning of the joke?

~Ducky~

I'm not sure of where the line originated. It was in the movie Tommy Boy where Chris Farley uses the line, that's where I remember it from.

I'm not sure of the joke that goes with it, I've heard that line somewhere though!

It sounds like something Larry the cable guy would say.

Get 'er done.

Did some surfing and found this!!

I hate this phrase. I have an aquaintence who says this phrase like every 2 minutes and it is highly annoying.

Last time I heard it was during a scope... LOL. TV! First time I heard it was in the '60's in a truck stop... wink. Truckers will get it. I recommend "Tucks". LOL.

There was a young man from Northumbria, who stuck an expolsive up his bumbria... the fuseness was lit, it smelled like... Linkage to BBC news piece.

That'd warm the sub-cockular-regions...

Ding! Ding! Ducky, your husband is correct!! Its used in comedys and sit coms and movies....you just missed the first part.
(you make up the first part because you'll never hear it)

Its like being ignored in a room full of people and all of a sudden you say: "And then i killed him and i put him in the woodchipper....suddenly everyone looks at YOU!

SEE?

What else would you like to know, i'm real sharp tonight!!!

kurokage is right, it is the punchline to a joke.
i have told this joke many times before...

I'm also fond of the variation using "__er" as a female connotation.

ie. "Felcher, I hardly even know her!"

actually its from black sheep when he is smoking pot with the black dudes.

Are you sure you didn't hear,

"Wrecked him... Damn near Killed him"?????
