Good Grief!

The title of this post has nothing to do with this post. Other than the fact that I think "good grief" is slowly fading away from the english language and I don't want to see it go. If people said "good grief" more, than some of their other language would be more powerful. Here is a list of instances where "good grief" might be an appropriate expression:

Tripping over a crack (assuming you don't actually hit the cement)
When the car in front of you doesn't notice the light is green
During a downpour (assuming you are inside looking at the rain)
When you are trying to eat very hot pizza (but only if you succeed in not scorching your mouth)
When the pen you are using isn't working properly
When you hear a funny joke on tv that is slightly dirty (but you must chuckle while saying it)

I think I have displayed here the versatility of the phrase. Don't limit the expression to these instances, this is just a start. On second thought, maybe this post is appropriately titled.
