Soupy Sales also caught flack for some of his other comments:

"My wife can't bake a cherry pie, but boy, can she make my banana cream."

"I took my wife to a baseball game.  I kissed her between the strikes and she kissed me between the balls."

That was pretty "racy" for a kids' show back then.
...Kids would rush home from school to see what he would say.

It's weird I can remember these jokes 60+ years later.

I was more of a Mary Ann fan on Gilligan's Island TV show.  She wore fewer  clothes

Raquel Welch auditioned for MaryAnne. Yes the internet has pictures.

The jokes made an impression on you as a youngster...

It is weird sometimes how we remember something very clear from decades ago that just sticks in the memory.

Watched a 1974 Godzilla vs MegaZilla movie the other evening. All spoken  in Japanese with English subtitles mostly. Space aliens brought the MegaZilla to earth to take over the planet.

The special effects were of the quality expected in those years.

Been watching some other old western TV shows.. Laramie : the character Jess by Robert Fuller gets into many messes and jail often. I read Fuller is still alive , age 91

I have been watching the rockford files recently . Lots of older cars in their natural habitat

I dozed off during a 1961 Perry Mason evening show.. When I woke up Emergency ! was on. A late 1970s episode.  Some guy was being dropped off at a building via a 1969 Camaro SS. Yellow in colour. Camaro had bumps , dirty, not a pristine car.

Modern TV shows on Vintage subjects?

For a while ( year or 2) we have watched the shows "Food that Built America" "Icons that Built America"  or "Mega Brands that Built America".

The history behind various food items many of us use each day for decades is interestings.  From soda pop to sliced bread, sliced bacon. Freeze dried pre-packed food items. Chocolate cookies were created. Recent Food show was about how coffee we have today was invented. The coffee machines for home use were invented. 

Frozen pizza.. Frozen TV dinners in the aluminum pans. Cookie dough in the plastic tubes. Mom yelled at me to stop eating the cookie dough raw from the tube

Grocery stores as we know them today did not exist in early 1900s

I am just rambling , I guess?  FYI: We do not drink coffee

What I see from this discussion, is that most of us don't sleep well.  I see those shows late at night.

I think the bread slicer was invented in 1928.

I think the bread slicer was invented in 1928.

Yep... A local machine shop engineered a machine that sliced and packaged loaves of bread for the Holsum Bread company in Phoenix Arizona. Took them about 4-5 yrs I was told.  At the same time other companies were developing same type of machine.  Around the late 1950s if my memory serves.  I was told this info , I was not there. 

Same machine shop that John Lincoln developed many items for welding decades ago.
