He didn't last long, though; he was fired after just three episodes. *** Thought for the Day: "By the age of 6 the average child will have completed the basic American education. ... From television, the child will have learned how to pick a lock, commit a fairly elaborate bank holdup, prevent wetness all day long, get the laundry twice as white, and kill people with a variety of sophisticated armaments." -- Russell Baker
