OH MY GOD.! were you on the ground? I said nope, santa was makin one last run.. Here's your sign”
I usually don't think of it myself, but one time in my life I did. I was at the drugstore in a supermarket to fill a prescription and get some twinkies. I handed the prescription to the lady there, and she said "Do you want this filled?" I said "No, I just want you to read it, and hand it back. Here's your sign"

Of course, I've heard the expression. Just thought that it was one of the gazillions whose origin was unknown (like you'd see in UrbanDictionary.com).
I'd like to know who came up with, "talk to the hand." I know that it was in an old Swartzenegger movie, but I don't know if that's where it originated.
