  • I don't believe there is an origin for that phrase. I did see where someone claimed they knew the origin. "It's a humorous takeoff on the interrogation room at police HQ. Okay, bozo, your alibi stinks. Do you really want to stick to that lame story? -- Yeah, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. And neither do I have any idea who started it as an extrajudicial expression." http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/44/messages/983.html I have my doubts about this. Here's another link with a possible origin on page 455: http://books.google.com/books?id=Nm3jbg0JalMC&pg=PA455&lpg=PA455&dq=phrase+origins+that's+my+story+and+I'm+sticking+to+it&source=web&ots=tYA7tIFOwO&sig=exFTG4peK23BX8T9OvYqCwEoOyw&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=5&ct=result#PPA454,M1
