"Mustard! Don't let's be silly."
From Walt Disney's Alice In Wonderland (1951):

The rabbit watches in horror, "but, but, but, but.." to which the Mad Hatter responds, "Butter! Of course, it needs butter!" He slathers it on, pours tea over the mess, then jabs two spoons into the concoction, and adds jam. Then...

I like mustard, especially on hamburgers and hot dogs (which I love charred). No mayo, no ketchup. Just meat and bun with mustard.
Still, even after all these years with kids grown and gone, when the mustard bottle comes out of the fridge we usually exclaim, "Mustard! Don't let's be silly."
(Here's the nutty scene...)
I, too, am a mustard fan. I don't like ketchup on my burgers and hot dogs. Just mustard! Here's to MUSTARD!
