In light of the recent post about a certain sexual activity that shall remain nameless, it brings to mind a character from that classic TV show, All in the Family. It’s the reverend whose name Archie always remembered as “Fletcher”.

Now I am disgusted when I think about it.  
Thanks.

However, in the _South Park_ movie, Big Gay Hal plays on a piano which reads “Felcher and Sons”

I laughed. My girlfriend didn’t get it. Long live the Straight Dope.

The reverend’s name in All in the Family was named FELCHER!

That cracked me up. However, I was the only one in the audience who laughed, and thus, my friends asked why it was funny. In turn, the people next to them asked what was so funny once they started gagging/giggling simultaneously. Shortly thereafter, my whole row knew.

I think Cecil has corrupted me more than anyone else. You should hear what the dinner table conversations are like here…
