Rest In Peace

[Thunder Good-Oil]

One of my favorite shows in the 70s.

Fred is on the Mount Rushmore of 1970s TV comedy characters. Archie Bunker is another. Maybe Gomer, too. Aunt Esther is top 10.

His standup was raunchy. He was always great on Carson.

Used to get my gas at FedEx, it was much cheaper than the gas stations.

That’s a bit hyperbolic. But it’s certainly important to the city.

I still remember the radio commercial for FedEx from the 70s… “Pigeon Forge?”

You know he fooled the cops with a big purple dong bong that the cops didn't even want to touch.
