STARRING: ART VAN HARVEY, BERNARDINE FLYNN AND BILL IDELSON
Vic gave Alf Musherton 19-20 hours of special tutoring at the Butler House Hotel as Musherton is a candidate for initiation in the Sacred Stars of the Milky Way.
Musherton is so pleased and grateful to Vic that he cries and insists on giving Vic or any Vic's relatives or acquaintances 20 free cornet lessons. Vic doesn't want the lessons and neither does Rush. The rest of the episode is spent trying to come up for candidates to take the free lessons.
Eventually he decides to give Hank Gutstop a quarter if he'll take the first lesson.
_____________________
I think you will find that this episode is one of the most rewarding of the lot. If you haven't heard this one before, you should be extremely happy with the ending.Trivia:
+ Rush wants to read aloud from a Third Lieutenant Stanley book that deals with coat and hat thieves in the Sahara Desert, but no one wants to hear it.
+ In a previous episode, Vic was to fake playing the cornet in a band concert. A year and a half later, you wonder why he would turn down the free lessons?
+ Some people who Vic, Rush and Sade suggested may want to learn the cornet: Mr. Gumpox, Uncle Fletcher and Mr. Sludge.
+ Sade refers to playing the cornet as "yipping." According to the Etymological Dictionary, "yip" means to "chirp like a bird."
+ Rush tells an Uncle Fletcher-type story about Mr. Richards, who used to play the cornet: {{{HEAR}}}
+ Hank Gutstop is known to hang around the Lazy Hours Pool Hall until closing time.
+ Rush knows the telephone number of the Lazy Hours Pool Hall (#8764-J.) However, in an earlier episode, Rush said something like, "Mom would kill me if I knew the telephone number to the Lazy Hours Pool Hall."
+ When Vic calls Hank, he's told that Hank Gutstop is playing bottle pool.
+ This is the first episode where the term, "stuff happens" is used. Wikipedia credits this variant of the term "sh*t happens" to writer Paul Rhymer and Vic and Sade. (((HEAR)))
+ The last few episodes have all been more than 10 minutes long; a sign that less commercial time was going into the program and probably a sign of the popularity of Vic and Sade.
