d'oH!...reminds me of:

As ham sandwiches go, it was perfection. A thick slab of ham, a fresh
bun, crisp lettuce, and plenty of expensive, light brown, gourmet
mustard. The corners of my jaw aching in anticipation, I carried it to
the picnic table in our backyard, picked it up with both hands but was
stopped by my wife suddenly at my side.

"Hold Johnny (our six-week-old son) while I get my sandwich, " she said.

I had him balanced between my left elbow and shoulder and was reaching
again for the ham sandwich when I noticed a streak of mustard on my
fingers. I love mustard. I had no napkin. I licked it off.

It was not mustard. 

No man ever put a baby down faster. It was the first and only time I
have sprinted with my tongue protruding. With a washcloth in each hand
I did the sort of routine shoeshine boys do, only I did it on my
tongue.

Later (after she stopped crying from laughing so hard) my wife said,
"Now you know why they call that mustard 'Poupon."
