More scary than a haunted hay ride
My cell phone went off in class today. D'oh! And every single class specifically addresses this in the syllabus.
Later... in the comments my dad asks if "d'oh" is the proper spelling and says that he's always spelled it as just "doh." To that I'd say "d'oh!" for all those mispellings he's commited over the years. The Simpsons Archive says:
The correct way to spell it is "D'oh". Homer's trademark "D'oh" manifested out of a general exclamation to indicate anger, and therefore was and has always been referred to in scripts as "Annoyed Grunt." Therefore most titles that feature "D'oh" in them have the "D'oh" replaced with (Annoyed Grunt), e.g. E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt).
The origins of "D'oh" can be traced to Jim Finlayson, who played support in many Laurel and Hardy films. His trademark was to yell "D'oooooooohhh" whenever Laurel and Hardy would do something to agitate him.

Early Halloween
Went to a haunted hayride at Knapp Vineyards tonight. Scary stuff.
