There are no references provided by those folks answering at theanswerbank. Who is Michael Parkinson and when or where did he say that? Sep 26 07, 11:01 PM

Michael Parkinson is a Brit (well, Yorkshire...) chat show host who seems to run a slightly more intelligent chat show than the normal ones around. Not that that's saying a lot.... But even I've heard of Parkie and I don;t have television. Sep 27 07, 2:41 PM

A reference here to an impersonator of Tina Turner having the legs described: http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/citydesk/index.php/2007/08/27/perrys-drag-brunch-why-stuffing-is-better-than-surgery/ However, the same phrase has been used )perhaps more accurately) to describe Jerry Hall. http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?t=65795&page=2 Also there is a song about 'Sandy' where the phrase occurs http://trap2.com/list_s/spunge_lyrics/all_she_ever_wants_lyrics.html It would seem to be a phrase that is untraceable in origin and widely applied.
