Ralph Cramden was a TV character in the 1950s series "The Honeymooners" played by Jackie Gleason. He was always threatening to knock his wife, Alyce, through the ceiling with a sweeping right hook. When making the upward swing, he'd shout, "To the moon!" The moon was presumably where he expected his wife's head to land after he'd socked her a good one. According to the laugh tracks, this apparently was an extraordinary bit of humor back in the 1950s. Jackie Gleason kind of looked liked a more youthful Mussolini when doing so. His jaw would be set, and his eyes looked like they were about to pop out of his head. Alyce always looked totally indifferent to his threats.
