"I'm thinking it over" was a famous joke from the Jack Benny radio program.
On the March 28, 1948 broadcast of the Jack Benny Program, Jack is held up by a robber that tells him "Your money or your life". After a repeat of the question and a pregnant pause Jack replies, "I'm thinking it over". It was a defining moment for his stingy character. It is sometimes thought (but not true) that the audience laughs resulting from this was the longest in radio history.
