I always liked, "You KNEW the job was dangerous when you took it, Fred !" I can JUST barely remember Clyde Crashcup...Never got to watch Beany & Cecil, or Rocky & Bullwinkle, 'cause they were on Sunday, & I ALWAYS had to go to Sunday School & church...little bit of trivia...the XB-70 Valkyrie bomber, which was supposed to fly at Mach 3, & replace the B-52, was nicknamed "Cecil the Seasick Sea-Serpent"-its creators, North American Aviation, thought it was unspeakably ugly. There were only 2 of 'em ever made, they were shown to the public in 1964, & in 1966, one crashed, killing everyone on board, during flight testing over the Mojave desert. The other one ended up in Wright-Pat AFB museum in 1969, probably the most advanced-and EXPENSIVE-museum piece ever.
