Did you guys notice a phrase he used many time "Where the woodbine twineth"? I think that refers to where dead people go, but anyway. I saw an Alfred Hitchcock Hour episode called "Where the Woodbine Twineth". I thought he invented the term there, but OBT is like 20 years earlier so the phrase did not originate in the Hitchcock episode. Google searches show just the Hitchcock episode.
So where did the phrase originate?
It might be construed to mean in the woods or a garden... woodbine is a climbing vine, twine can mean to twist around something. I dunno, but I sure love it.

Some interesting information on this phrase.
I believe the phrase originated to refer to a cemetery. Many cemeteries used to be adjacent to churches; and woodbine and ivy typically crawled and twisted up the stone walls of the church.
