Martin then replied: "Good night Dick."
Good night Gracie = The Burns and Allen radio...then TV show.
I only lived in The City one summer (1954, my aunt lived on Taylor St), so I don't recall Lee's talk show, but...Speaking of strippers, remember San Franciscan Carol Doda...her snakes...and her bodacious tata's?
I'll betcha 'Ol Harley never heard a her (or seen her, either).

Hey, Bill, ever see any "before" pictures of Carol Doda? Her "store bought" tata's gave a second street bar national recognition for a short while. Had it not been for Carol the Condor Club would passed into oblivion unnoticed. Tom

Ferd Berfel was the next door neighbor to the Farkel family on the old Laugh-In show. All the Farkels had red hair and names that started with "F". I think Dick played the part of Ferd.
Look up Godfrey Daniel. W C Fields often used this term.
Say, it's too bad about Mike's oil leak.
I only saw the Burns and Allen TV show, betcha the line "say goodnight ,Dick" was taken from that.
Not familiar with term tata's, maybe from drummers slang, like paradiddle?

Anybody actually work on their truck today besides me?
I'm with OH on the "good night" line. T'was sorta what I was trying to convey.
Oh yeah, I remember Carol all right.
And finally, are we talking about an o ring inside the cable housing(as between the inner core and the outer shell, or between the adaptor and the tailshaft housing?
Have I mentioned that I hate speedometer cables?

Those were known as DAGMAR's. The name came from a 1950's British TV personality named Dagmar who had a bodacious pointy set of tata's.
GOD-frey DAN-iel, Mother of Pearl. Bodacious tata's is a line from the film: Officer and a Gentleman.
Since Fields couldn't use cuss words in his flims, he invented a whole slew of new ones...some close to the original terms.
From "My Little Chickadee" (Universal: 1940): "Why don't you go back to the reservation and milk your elk!"

Yes, and a new o ring doesn't always eliminate a leak. My leak is now displaced. The oil travels up the cable to the interface of the rubber cable and the swagged metal end. It now leaks right through there instead. You can't win...
