Show Notes:
1. Some of the things “Biff” says in this episode are talking points actual recruiters used on me in the late 1980s. Another guy at school said they gave him the same spiel, claiming he could become a nuclear engineer, slapping dollar bills on the desk and saying, “Here’s forty thousand dollars for college!” Also I don’t think of Falk as overweight but I wanted to repeat the story of the recruiter telling me to do neck roll exercises so I could qualify for a job I wanted nothing to do with. Words of wisdom from my dad: “The difference between being in prison and being on a ship in the Navy is you’re less likely to drown in prison.”
2. Here’s a history of the innuendo-laden expression “come up and see my etchings”:
