H2O Wagon















On the wagon, off the wagon, which is it? I had to look it up. 'on the wagon' means you quit drinking alcohol, 'off the wagon' means you're back in action. Etymology? The expression dates back to the early 1900s, and it referred to horse driven water wagons. That dude in the colorized picture above is Jack London himself, five days before his death on November 17, 1916. Here's a sheet music cover for a song from 1903 composed and performed by one Paul West.
