His Name Is Mudd

Today is Go Caroling Day. I can't remember the last time someone rang the doorbell and when I opened the door they started singing Fa La La.

So, today is also Mudd Day. A day when we're supposed to consider the fate of Dr Samuel Mudd.  He was sentenced to life in jail after giving aid to John Wilkes Booth, who was in disguise and fleeing for his life after shooting President Lincoln. Mudd was actually jailed for four years before being pardoned by the President. But he's where we get the expression, 'His name is Mudd'

Come to think of it, nobody says that anymore do they.
