However, I can’t tell which one, and I will not google it, so nevermind. Actually, I believe the third one is the only fictional entry – it was the case in which Edmund Gwenn was tried for impersonating Kris Kringle in the film _Miracle on 34th Street_. I’m not familiar with _Stogner_, but _Mapp_ has something to do with sex – white slavery, I believe. Checking Google as soon as I hit “submit”… ---

:smack: D’oh. Of course I shoulda’ realized Roe v. Wade is not fictional. The mention of Kringle shut out all reason. You may begin the paddeling, **Sternvogel**. lso, I have search for the name Topo Gigio, and I now suspect the question has something to do with the Ed Sullivn show. ---

> [@Scott Plaid](#): > > [Al]so, I have search for the name Topo Gigio, and I now suspect the question has something to do with the Ed Sullivan show. You got it, Scott. “Janice” was a member of the Muppets band “Electric Mayehm” and “Dr. Teeth,” and she was also a nurse in the “Dr. Bob” segments. 57. _Stogner_ did involve sex crimes; _Mapp v. Ohio_ was a search-and-seizure case. 59. The (MAD) Hate Book was also a Jaffee creation. “Quivering Quotations” were in _Sex to Sexty._ 😃 ---

1. KISS, the Royal Canadians, AC/DC, Darryl Hall & John Oates The Royal Canadians was Guy Lombardo’s band; the others are rock personalities. 😛 2. 1804 silver dollar, 1922 quarter, 1894 dime, 1913 nickel The 1804 dollar, the 1894 dime, and the 1913 nickel are very rare.

> [@dougie\_monty](#): > > 1. A convenience-store owner born in India; a DMV clerk who smokes high-tar cigarettes; a bumbling, redheaded teenager; an overweight store owner who wears his hair in a ponytail All of these are Simpsons characters (Apu; Patty and/or Selma; generic teenager; Comic Book Guy). I’m guessing that all but the DMV clerk are voiced by Hank Azaria? (Julie Kavner does Marge and her sisters.) ---

(Julie Kavner does Marge and her sisters.) Not quite, Thudlow. This teenager isn’t with the Simpsons at all. His co-characters include: A red-headed mother and balding father. A goofy friend who wears a hat like a crown. A rich brunette and a not-rich blond girl. A slick-topped smart aleck. A fat, bald principal. A Swedish janitor with a Teddy Roosevelt moustache. Etc. 🙂 I stand corrected about Charlie Robertson. :o And I think you have the wrong John Houseman. 😛 ---

To expand on **Julius Henry** ’s answer: “poor boy” (or po’ boy), “hoagy” (also spelled “hoagie”), and “submarine” are regional variant names for the sandwich also known as a “hero”, “grinder”, or “zeppelin” in other areas. 2. John Tower was a U.S. Senator from Texas. The others were characters created by comic Jonathan Winters. ---

1. Fly, placket, and cuff are closings on garments. They may feature buttons. A peplum isn’t and doesn’t. 🙂 ---

The placket, cuff, and peplum are found on women’s garments. Not the fly, except on jeans. 😛 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pick-the-odd-one/323023.md?page=3)
