Subject: "Good Tuesday"

Where did this phrase originate from?

Re: http://www.blockbuster.com/browse/catalog/personDetails/9454?pg.1.page=2&pg.1.pageSize=25 * " David Canary Movies "

and: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0529533/
for: Season 11, Episode 11
Dead Wrong(7 Dec. 1969)

* = " Synopsis of Bonanza: Dead Wrong

Although Salty Hubbard (Arthur Hunnicutt) is Sunville's biggest liar, everyone in town believes Salty's claim that stranger Hoss Cartwright is really notorious outlaw Big Jack (Mike Mazurki). To stay alive, Hoss is forced to fake his own death, funeral and all. Meanwhile, the real Big Jack prepares to take full advantage of "Good Tuesday", a local bank holiday. In the episode's comic highlight, Hoss suddenly rises from the dead as the nonplussed Preacher (John Carradine) and the other mourners look on in bug-eyed terror. Others in the cast include Ivor Francis as the Banker and Milton Parsons as (what else?) the Undertaker. First shown on December 7, 1969, "Dead Wrong" was written and directed by Bonanza star Michael Landon. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi" http://www.blockbuster.com/browse/catalog/movieDetails/182530#readMore

P.S. Maybe: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Wellington_Wimpy

" The character seems to be inspired by someone whom Segar encountered during his career. According to fellow cartoonist Bill Mauldin, the name was suggested by that of Wellington J. Reynolds, one of Segar's instructors at the Chicago Art Institute.[2] His personality was based upon that of William Schuchert, the manager of the Chester Opera House ** where Segar was first employed. "Windy Bill", as he was known, was a pleasant, friendly man, fond of tall tales and hamburgers"

& "
Hamburgers are Wimpy's all-time favorite dish, and he is usually seen carrying or eating one or more at a time – e.g. in Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor he is seen grinding meat or eating burgers almost the entire time – however, he is usually too cheap to pay for them himself. A recurring joke involves Wimpy's attempts to con other patrons of the diner into buying his meal for him. His best-known catchphrase started in 1931 as "Cook me up a hamburger. I'll pay you Thursday." In 1932, this then became the famous "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today".[5] This phrase is now commonly used to illustrate fiscal irresponsibility[6][7][8] and still appears in modern comedies such as The Drew Carey Show and The Office. The initial part of the phrase was even the title of season 4's episode 6 of Cheers, 'I'll Gladly Pay You Tuesday'."

You know, there seemed to be a lot of mistaken identities in Bonanza. Look-alikes too. Even Adam had one. None for Ben or Hop Sing as I recall.
