The expression "since God was a boy" is a humorous and exaggerated way of saying "a very long time." It implies that an event or situation has been happening for so long that it's been around since the beginning of time, or even since God's youth. It's not meant to be taken literally, as it's a common idiom used to emphasize duration.

Get the Refusing to Soldier mug.A leg of salmon is usually used as a joke in the work place and is generally used to test the gullibility of a new employee. It starts off by the manager or someone of senior authority asking the unsuspecting employee to carry out a personal favour for them. In this case the boss has asked the new employee if he/she minds going to the fish mongers to collect the leg of salmon that the boss had ordered earlier. Wanting to impress his/hers new boss the new employee (not giving a second thought of what he/she has been asked to do) willingly obliges to go on the errand only to be told by the fishmonger (in the tone of 1+1=2) that salmon don't have legs and return back to their place of work (usually to be greeted by hysterical laughter) looking as pink as a salmon.
Boss: "Jimmy"
Jimmy: "Yes Sir."
Boss: "Could I ask a favour?"
Jimmy: "Certainly Sir."
Boss: "The CEO has called a meeting this afternoon and I have ordered a leg of salmon from the fishmongers over the road, please could you collect it for me, as I wont have time after the meeting. All you have to say is "I have come to collect the leg of salmon reserved for Mr Smith".
Jimmy: "Oh yes Sir. I'll do it straight away Sir."
Jimmy: "Yes Sir."

Get the Leg of Salmon mug.A term used in the UK when someone is desperately trying to convince you that their piece of information or version of events is correct to gain your trust but you know that they're blatantly lying through their teeth. Or someone is trying to sell you the latest designer object (watch, trainers, handbag etc.) and you can clearly see it's a fake. It's as genuine as a 40 pence piece.
