color=#0000ff size=2>I've heard "Jumping Jehoshaphat!" as an "expression of
startled surprise." I've wondered whether this name is used purely for
alliteration or it's unusual sound, or if there's something in the
Biblical King Jehoshaphat's story that inspired the expression (of course I've
not looked at the story with that in mind to find out for
myself...)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

'participle -ing + first name' which seem to correspond<BR>to the
