Tonight I'm wondering if it has anything to do with cricket bats. A bat maker said something about the weight of one cricketer's bat as something like "two eight and a half" written I think 2.85, so I'm wondering if "six two and even" is the weight of something. Maybe Paul Bunyan's axe?
I heard it in the old **** Tracy cartoon series on TV, taken from the comic strip.
The only movie I think I remember saying anything like "over and out" is
Where Eagles Dare, and I think they keep saying "Over" until the last transmission when they say just "Out." But I haven't seen that movie in awhile.
LOL -- the website asterisked-out Tracy's first name!
More evidence that computers are artificial but not really "intelligence." Tracy's first name starts with a D and rhymes with Rick.
