I always heard they were on fire.
Local DJ used to play a sound bite from a Bell “biopic” with Jimmy Stewart as Watson; what we heard:
Bell: “Come here, Watson; I want you!”
(pause while W. gets there)
Watson: “You get those britches off and I’ll get the lard!”
(footnote: in those days, first aid for burns was grease. Yeah, it was a bad thing – but it made for a hilarious drop-in.)
