Heard on today's The People's Court, spoken by Judge Marilyn Millan:

How, _on God's green acre_, do you explain this?

For the younger members: back in the day, there was a popular novel and
a movie with the title, "God's Little Acre," which the good judge
appears to have crossed with the common expression, "on God's green
earth."
