Editorial Correction
Color me embarrassed. A good friend of mine emailed me in response to my posts (Post 1, Post 2) referring to Happy Days and JumpTheShark.com.
Apparently, my memory is not as good as it once was, and though that’s not always necessarily a bad thing, it appears that I was a little off on the details of Fonzie’s jump over the shark.
I’ll let my friend expain in his own words:
That is weird, How. And I loved the line in your blog article, “Maybe America has jumped the shark.” Genius. Oh, by the way, you wrote, “wherein Fonzie jumps his motorcycle over a shark in a tank.” I caught that Happy Days reunion special as well (I’m not bragging, mind you), and they showed the clip of that episode. Turns out, the shark wasn’t in a tank and Fonzie wasn’t on a motorcycle. I know you would want the facts. The shark was in a roped off section of the ocean and Fonzie jumped it on water skis. (While wearing a leather jacket, shorts, and biker boots, for no apparent reason.)
Notice how I left in that bit about me being a genius? Makes up a little for how badly I screwed up on the whole shark jumping thing.
Anyway, can anybody who watched Happy Days so many years ago understand how I could make such a mistake? After all, there WAS an episode where Fonzie jumps over something using his motorcycle. Wasn’t there? Or, was that one of the Tuscadero sisters - Pinky or Leather? (Hint: Those are strictly rhetorical questions.)

god bless tfloss, where we “…provide our readers with the best quality blo”
p.s. does the cost of the blo come out of our pay?

space, PLEASE don’t tell me that you didn’t get the joke. It’s too horrible to think of the implications if you didn’t. ;-)

The joke you wrote was definitely not broke
In fact it was very funny
Everyone knows that “blo” is “coke”
But a hole in your nose is not worth the money
(Sigh, I knew I should have taken that poetry writing course at Rutgers.)

Hmmm, I probably should remain mum, b4 I appear more dumb-
Win some
lose some
ho hum
chewing gum
LOL you guys…..
I’m so TIRE(d) I have a feeling that the Fonz jumping over all those tires has nothing to do with your post. (Loved Happy Days tho… and I still jitterbug!)
