"Henry"
I thought his middle name was Effin.
"Jesus H. Christ on a raft" can sometimes be heard from people from Newfoundland and other Atlantic provinces of Canada. This may be a reference to Christ's walk on water. Or perhaps this variant combines the exclamation with the (archaic) cafe slang term "Adam and Eve on a raft," which described two boiled eggs served on toast.
Speaking of the cafe slang term "Adam and Eve on a raft," which you say is two boiled eggs served on toast, and I have no reason to doubt, reminds me of Frogs in the Pond ............…which as you know is the name for eggs cooked in a cut-out circle of bread. Other names include: Bull's eye, Picture Frame Egg, Toad-in-the-hole, gas house eggs, Moonstruck eggs, eggy in the basket, egg in the hole, Egg in the Basket, cowboy eggs.
