A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Not to take anything away from the ever-witty Theo, but that's a common expression 'round these parts (New England).

It's a remora, dimwit.
It's also very common in the midwest, esp by the lakes.

...In lots of places. I grew up on "Scottish weather, if it's boring, wait 10 minutes", which might just go to prove that Scottish weather is at least faster than New England weather.

In the Maritimes, it's "wait 5 minutes". We have the schiz-iest weather of all.

It's not uncommon in Melbourne either. The title to the Crowded House song "Four Seasons In One Day" comes from a similar saying.

It seems it's common everywhere except Watford, or possibly even everywhere except my family and friends. Well- learn something every day at Buffistas.
