Q: What do you call an alligator with GPS? A: A Navi-gator!

Q: What do you call an alligator that makes others fight? A: An Insti-gator!

Q: What do you call an alligator that sneaks up and bites you from behind? A: A Tail-gater!

It seems that many of us have been misquoting well-known phrases for years. This week, Tidbits sets the record straight on some of the more common ones. • We’veallheardMurphy’sLaw,somethingalongthelines of, “If something can go wrong, it will, and usually attheworsttime.”TherewasarealMurphy–EdwardA.Murphy,aU.S.AirForceengineerwhowasworkingona rocket-sled experiment in the late 1940s. The project involved mounting 16 accelerator instruments to a participant’sbody.Thereweretwowaysthe16sensorscould be glued to the mount, and all 16 were installed backwards.Murphywasheardtosay,“Iftherearetwoormore ways to do something, and one of those ways can result in a catastrophe, then someone will do it.” • Oneofthemostoften-misquotedlinesinmoviehistoryis“Playitagain,Sam”fromthe1942film“Casablanca.”Most folksbelieve that leadingmanHumphreyBogartutteredthefamousphrase.ThepianistSamisbeingaskedtoplaythesong“AsTimeGoesBy.”IngridBergman’scharacter Ilsa Lund says, “Play it once, Sam. For oldtimes’ sake.”WhenSamobjects, she repeats, “Play it,Sam.”Laterinthemovie,Bogartsays,“Playit!”Nooneeversays,“Playitagain,Sam.”

• It was 20th-century tele-vision, film and culture critic John Leonard who made the following observation: “In the cellars of the night, when the mind starts moving around old

trunks of bad times, the pain of this and the shame of that, the memory of a small boldness is a hand to hold.”

• You probably won’t be surprised to learn that a group of hedgehogs is known as a prickle.

• In almost every state, there is a statute on the books making it illegal to jump off the top of an office building. Unsurprisingly, there’s not much call to prosecute those who violate the law; district attorneys aren’t in the habit of filing charges against corpses. However, in a few states, if you survive jumping off a building and are tried and convicted of violating that law, you could be sentenced to death.

• Those who study such things say that among social media users, those who use Twitter are less likely to smoke than users of other platforms.

• Just as humans have distinctive fingerprints, dogs have nose prints -- no two are the same.

• You doubtless know of Theodore Geisel -- better known as Dr. Seuss, the beloved author of such children’s classics as “The Cat in the Hat,” “Horton Hears a Who” and “Green Eggs and Ham,” among many others. You might not real-ize, though, that his first book, “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street,” was rejected by more than two dozen publishers before it finally made it into print.

• Did you know that dogs appear in the Bible? Yep -- 41 times. No mention of cats, though.

• • •Thought for the Day: “What sculpture is to a block

of marble, education is to a human soul.” — Joseph Addison

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am so tired of gastric juices coming up and spraying my mouth. I am currently on a“lastresort”medicine.Mydoctorwantstotryitforthreeweeks.Ifitdoesn’twork,he’sgoingtoperformaNissen fundoplication.

ANSWER:Largevolumesofstomachacidcominginto the mouth is an accepted indication for surgical treatmentofrefluxdisease.Sometimes,theacidisas-

sociated with excess saliva and is called “water brash.” Prior to considering surgery, it is worthwhile to make

sure the medication treatment is as good as it can be.

Baclofen, a powerfulmuscle relaxant with many possible side effects, may be the “last resort” medicine you are taking.Whenall else fails, surgerymay relieve symptoms.
