Apparently that movie was a little TOO reminiscent of his life growing up as the oldest of two boys in the 40s and 50s....  |
Well, I didn't grow up in the 40's....I have clear memories of the coal furnace but never heard, "It's a clinker!" No one was dared (double dared, double dog dared, triple dared, triple dog dared - no etiquette failure here) to stick their tongues on flag poles. It was the railroad track for us. Palmolive, as in Lifebouy? I'm a Lux man, myself.

Well, first,  
Second, don't you remember as he's going into the bathroom get the Lifebuoy punishment, he discusses the flavors/merits of all the various soaps? |
First, I must take special care not to post without previewing the message. It's been way too easy to delete portions of text and in doing so, remove a "[" or a "/" and thereby be known to the world as a __________. (Fill in the blank.) To my horror, I noticed the faux pas and thought that I'd edited it quickly enough, but sadly, no. I've been exposed.
Second, of course I remember the punishment scene. "...petty, with just a touch of mellow smoothness. Lifebouy, on the other hand...." That's followed by Schwartz getting "...another shot of mysterious and inexorable official justice." It ends with, "Don't you give me that look. You're gonna get it!" Yeah, not like I've never heard that from my Mom....
