Uh…did my reply vanish? Anyway, you are definitely right. I'm not sure why, but I always heard it "head from a hole" and assumed that was "correct". Apparently, I am the only one to have done so, since "ass from a hole in the ground" is all OVER the damned internet. It still sounds wrong to me, though that television…
