My Mom used to say "it ain't funny ,McGee!" I always wondered where it came from too.
My mom said that , too! I also wondereds who Mc Gee was, Maybe had something to do with the radio show Fibber Mcgee and Moly?
She also said, don't worry it will all come out in the wash. Then my brother added, "Yeah, but that rinse cycle can be p;ure hell!"
I found this on Wikipedia: "When Fibber McGee tells a bad joke, Molly usually answers with the line "T'ain't funny, McGee!" (That became a familiar catch phrase during the 1940s.)"
