I watch a lot of sports news so they are talking a lot about the "Miracle on Ice". I wasn't born yet, so I have no memory of it. However, I remember being sad when Don Knotts passed away years ago. The Andy Griffith Show was my dad's favorite.

I loved watching Don Knotts, he was an excellent actor in both these rolls! And in the 'Incredible Mr. Limpet'

@marlina It was a hen-pecked husband, whose dream was to become a fish. It happened and he fell deeply in love with 'Lady Fish!' It was an awesome movie:)

We've always been tempted to "appetizer it" when we go to Red Lobster. Just eat appetizers until we're full...lobster pizza, stuffed mushrooms, clam strips, etc.

@LindaOHio But of course, this still negates the joke since the appetizers would not be free. But I will admit, some of those appetizers are literally meals.
