How about this one?

Don't look it up.

Should be easy.

Wasn't sure where to post this. I started in the "What song are you listening to" thread, then went to "Confess Here". I think it belongs here....

Somebody make it stop! Since I woke up this morning, Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'round the Old Oak Tree has been playing in my brain non stop. I don't know why. I haven't heard that song in years and years. Shoot me, please.

This show would cause a lot of aneurisms if it was broadcasted today.

"Boy, the way Glen Miller played
Songs that made the hit parade.
Guys like us we had it made.
Those were the days.

And you knew who you were then,
Girls were girls and men were men
.
Mister, we could use a man
Like Herbert Hoover again.

Didn’t need no welfare state.
Everybody pulled his weight.

Gee, our old LaSalle ran great.
Those were the days."

I believe that it is still airing in re-runs. I tried to watch some re-runs of "Sanford and Son" last year, but the punch lines and plot telegraphed so much that it was boring.

An interesting vanity card from last week's "Young Sheldon" documentary:

...when you used to drive a car with "3 on the tree" and bench seats.

BTW, there were some major advantages to that setup. Just sayin'.

Yep. The condensor was there to reduce sparking across the point gap when they opened. Made the points last longer. I used to use a matchbook cover as a gapping tool in a pinch, worked pretty well. That was when cars got tuneups twice a year. Now it's twice in the car's entire lifetime!

I used the corner of the cigarette pack. Pretty much the same as the matchbook.
