Things that might not happen every day

Folks who follow me on Facebook may have seen my question about how many people had heard "Yellow Stockings" played on the tuba. So here's one for my LJ folks: How many times do you suppose that one member of a couple has suddenly said, just after turning out the light in preparation for going to sleep, "You know, I don't think we ever boxed the gnat"?

Actually, I recalled later that there was a box the gnat in one of the English dances (although I don't think she called it that), and a mad robin too, for that matter. But neither one appeared in any contra that I can remember. No pass-the-ocean either.
