WPIX had a great line-up back then for a while: two espisodes of "The Odd Couple" followed by the Honeymooners and then STAR TREK, which is how I got into it. Awesome.

Nothing like these shows on TV today. Everything's formulaic dreck mostly aimed at females and homosexuals.

Do you remember watching it after "The Honeymooners." and pre-empted if the Yankee game went long?

When I was in the Navy, I was chewed out by my chief for painting a wall (i.e.bulkhead) incorrectly.

So, I tried to tell him in my defense, "Chief, I just *assumed* you wanted me to do it this way," pointing to the now dry wall.

Well, my chief whips out a piece of chalk, writes the word ASSUME in big letters on the wall & yells,"SAILOR! When you ASSUME, you make an ASS out of U & ME," circling each word (like Felix).

I had always wondered the origin of this saying, until today. (17Feb2013
