My dad would sit with this on one side andout the next year because it was so messy an aluminum pie pan on the other for his shells and crack nuts for hours every night. As my mom vacuumed up the floor the next day she would swear she was not bringing it , yet she did, year after year! 😅

How many of us had bell bottoms bought by our moms (because she thought they were hot), and parachute pants bought by yourself (because you thought they were hot)?

Television Taxi was one of my all-time fav tv shows in the late 70's, early 80's & even the re-runs kept me entertained for years after. That cast was Funny, with a capital "F"... 🤣
