I have heard country folk use the phrase "Garfield" in the same way as many others would say "Well, I'll be..."

Irish Blessing

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face

The rains fall soft upon your fields and
Until we meet again...
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
