As Paula Poundstone is fond of saying “it was the gouda that got 'em.”

That’s true. When I lived in the city we’d go to the Cubby Bear which is kitty corner from Wrigley Field on Wednesday night, it was $5 to get in and had penny pitchers of beer, penny burgers plus they had a band. It was a little over a mile from my apartment and we’d walk there, but take a cab home. I had some rough Thursday mornings.

One of the bands we saw was Lynyrd Skynhead. It was a cover band from Japan that played and sang perfect, but other than the songs they spoke very rough English. Another band was Dred Zepplin, a reggae cover band and the lead singer was an Elvis impersonator. Fun times for 5 bucks

My dad told me stories of his youth where he tells me it’s a good thing be brought his car to the bar because he sure as hell couldn’t walk home. It was definitely a different time.

Mile for mile, walking home drunk is much more dangerous than driving while drunk.

These are actually malapropisms from Archie Bunker’s character in “All in The Family” but I consider malapropisms to be a similar type of humor.

Another Archie Bunker line I liked was from an episode where Archie and Meathead were arguing after Nixon had resigned. Meathead said that Nixon had to resign since he had lied. Archie responded that Nixon hadn’t lied; he just forgot to tell the truth.

Unfortunately for Nixon, the phrase “alternative facts” had not yet been coined.

I think if Nixon had done what he did today, there’s no way he’d have to resign. He only resigned because Republicans would vote for impeachment.

Americans responded to the Watergate Scandal the way they did because it happened at a time when people were much more ethical than they are today. Since that time a number of politicians have done things that were much more unethical without any consequences. Nixon’s biggest mistake was to cover up the Watergate Scandal because the cover up was much worse than the scandal itself.

I would agree with that.

macarley - Did you know that the term malapropism comes from a 1775 play called “The Rivals” by Richard Sheridan wherein a character called Mrs Malaprop frequently made these types of mistakes.

Worthy advice from another English Major of great statute….
