The phrase "On the wagon" has an amusing history. To say one has fallen off of it is twisting things a bit. It originated in Louisiana, USA in the 1800s. During the Marde Gras celebration various areas would make a large community pot of gumbo. An important part of this was a group of people rode a wagon and on horseback around to all of the local farms and each of them one would contribute something for the gumbo. They would also pass around a bottle of moonshine at each stop. To be "on the wagon" meant someone had drank so much along the way they couldn't ride their horse anymore and they had to ride the wagon. To say one has "fallen off the wagon" is kind of a non sequitur to this story. It really means they were so drunk they couldn't even ride the wagon because being on the wagon was about excessive intoxication.
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"
