As Sally's Aunt Agnes Says: "It's Better To Get A Rose From A Casual Friend Than To Get A Can Of Suc

Any serious fan of the great television comedy series known as "The Dick Van Dyke Show" (1961-1966) probably has a large supply of Van Dyke Show trivia committed to memory (just in case such items might be needed in an emergency). :) You never can tell when you'll be called upon to recite (on a moment's notice) all seven of Ritchie Petrie's middle names. Or maybe you'll suddenly have a pressing need for Rob Petrie's telephone number. Or perhaps some frantic trivia-obsessed stranger will run up to you on the street and ask if you can recall the exact amount of money Laura had saved up in her private bank account. You never know when such Earth-shaking data will come in handy. ~wink~ In addition to trivia, most Dick Van Dyke Show aficionados should also have an ample number of "Favorite Quotes" stored in his or her memory banks from the 158 episodes of the series. And no matter how many times you hear Rob or Laura or Buddy utter these lines, a laugh is bound to follow. I've compiled some quotes that occupy many of the top spots on my own "Favorite Lines From The Dick Van Dyke Show" list. Are any of these on your list too? ........

Harding Of Camp Crowder, Mo." (11/6/61): ROB -- "Hand me a napkin, quick!" LAURA -- "What for?" ROB -- "Tomato juice in my ear." ROB -- "Because he had a face..." MRS. HARDING -- "...As big as a horse." HARRISON B. HARDING -- "I've lost fifty-seven pounds since then." MRS. HARDING -- "All from his face." HARRISON B. HARDING -- "Don't tease me Evelyn." -------------------- From "The Curse Of The Petrie People" (2/2/66): SAM PETRIE -- "Oh, the delivery boy could see her, but we couldn't, eh?" JEWELRY STORE OWNER -- "You wouldn't settle for Czechoslovakia, would you? ... A cockeyed Poland?" -------------------- From "Where Did I Come From?" (1/3/62): ROB -- "Mel, give me your pants!" MEL -- "Oh, I really need my pants today; I'm having lunch with the sponsor." -------------------- From "All About Eavesdropping" (10/23/63): ROB -- "I've got it! 'On The Street Where You Live'!"
