: When I was a child visiting my grandparents home in the 60's, it was always filled with aunts, uncles and many cousins. Anytime you ask where anyone was, without fail, someone would answer "She (or he) took an eggbeater and went over the hill." Or maybe it was across the hill, I'm not sure. As an adult, I've ask many relatives where that answer came from. No one remembers. Can anyone tell me if this came from a book,movie, or maybe a song or was it just my crazy family?

The only thing I've heard that is remotely similar is the old joke, "Put an egg in your shoe and beat it."
