Like the previous post, I remembered "Jesus wept, Moses crept and" but not the rest. My father was also born in West Virginia, in 1932, and we kids were born and raised in Ohio. I think I heard it from him.

Just today I said that to myself as more and more emails came pouring in, and it made me think I haven't heard or said that saying in probably 30 - 40 years. I think my father used to say this occasionally. He was born in the 1930s in West Virginia, a hillbilly as we kids used to tease him (we grew up in Ohio).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021450099193451157.post-37683763710583959722018-06-21T23:31:23.531-05:002018-06-21T23:31:23.531-05:00Heard it today 22 June 2018.Elderly lady explained...Heard it today 22 June 2018.Elderly lady explained it may have originated in Ireland,her father used the expression.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04206684601806868184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021450099193451157.post-79831922527879714412017-09-15T10:43:24.117-05:002017-09-15T10:43:24.117-05:00I remember both my grandparents would use a variat...I remember both my grandparents would use a variation on this when extremely vexed (usually with me).<br />"Jesus wept, Moses crept, and the Devil walked on crutches".<br />No idea where they got it from but they were both in their late 60s at that stage in the 1950s, living in Timaru, New Zealand.Tony Carrnoreply@blogger.com
