@Ray C - the line predates National Lampoon Magazine, but they certainly did a lot to popularize it. I learned it as a kid from my mom, who would say the phrase in Yiddish as an example of how much better things can sound when you don’t actually know what’s being said …
“You don’t sweat much for a fat girl.” My dad’s been saying that my whole life, kids, so it predates National Lampoon. My dad is 82 years old! He also likes to point into the distance and say “There’s a mailman over there” and at this point wipe his nose, then rub it up his leg and finish “with a stripe on his pants!”

WHO doesn’t have a friend like that? Yet they’d push you out from in front of a speeding bus.

I used to have a friend like that. Stopped having anything to do with him about 25 years ago. Don’t even miss him a little bit.
