"Throw your hat in the door first"

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   Anyone familiar with this?
   Someone on the tour used it and asked me to research it.  "Throw your hat in the door first" means there could be trouble with the wife (one or the other partner has been fooling around) when the husband gets home.  Obviously, not a new American phrase.
