Registered just to answer this question. It's from an 80's commercial for LifeCall, a device and service that enabled people to talk to emergency dispatchers if they couldn't get to a phone. Seems strange that it became a catch phrase, but I think people were making fun of the commercial, and it just kinda caught on and stuck.

How long has that phrase been around? I thought it was new.
