Sorry, Hawkeye; M*A*S*H gets bowled over

Sorry, Hawkeye
Who knew Abe Vigoda was still alive? A record 106.5 million people watched the New Orleans Saints upset the Indianapolis Colts in the Super Bowl, surpassing the nearly 106 million who watched the final episode of “M-A-S-H” in 1983.
For those keeping score, that works out to 6.5 million interested in the game and 100 million waiting to watch Betty White get tackled in a mud puddle.
The tipping point: With high school sweetheart balls and proms approaching, it might be a good idea to go over restaurant tipping protocol with teens so they don't stiff the wait staff at Outback.
But here's Rule No. 1: Unless the food is wrapped in paper decorated with golden arches, you should tip.
Going for the gold: Gold Bar, which got its start as a prospectors' camp, marks its centennial this year with a series of celebrations, including Gold Dust Days in July. Mayor Joe Beavers says the plan is to “party like it's 1910."
So, if you're going to Gold Bar, remember:
You can ride your mule to a tavern, but you can't count it as your designated driver.
Women's bustles are optional but encouraged.
And don't forget to patronize these sponsors: Munson's Paw-Paw Pills and Dr. Case's Carbolate of Tar Inhalants.

BY-Passing US-2 would do a heck of a lot more for their economy than these little weekend funlets.
By the time someone "finally" arrives in Gold Bar, after the bull of Monroe, they are pretty much beyond frustration & upset to the point they all just want to floor the gas pedal & get the frick out of there until they reach Leavenworth.
Gold Bar, as it currently is, is just another reduced "Speed Zone Ahead" & it ****-es people off. Who wants to "stop" after that?

How many more TV's are in how many more houses than when MASH ran? You can prove anything with Math the constructing the data to prove your point. This data means squat!
