D.D.T. (Drop Dead Twice) (1947)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   About seven hours ago there was a violent shaking, like the ceiling was going to fall on me.  I went downstairs, and the doorman said a few other people reported it.  I haven't heard anything on the news.
   Just another day in New York.

D.D.T. (DROP DEAD TWICE)

   The RHHDAS has 1949.
   From EL BURRO, the humor magazine of UTEP (although this was certainly borrowed from elsewhere), November 1947, pg. 1, col. 3:

He:  Darling, is there nothing I can do to make you care?
She:  D. D. T.
He:  D. D. T.?
She:  Yeah--drop dead twice!

   From EL BURRO, April 1945, pg. 23, col. 2:

Mary had a little lamb,
Some salad and dessert,
Then she gave the wrong address
The dirty little flirt.
(...)
Fat Lady:  "Boy, call me a taxi!"
Bellhop:  "All right, you're a taxi, but you look more like a truck to me!"

(As I said, EL BURRO didn't look like it had original stuff--ed.)
