What the hell am I talking about, you ask? Well, serendipity would have it that I was talking to GiggleGirl about the expression
"jumping the shark" today. This term comes from the infamous moment on September 20, 1977, when "The Fonz" from "Happy Days" donned his famous leather jacket, went water skiing, and jumped a shark on his skis.
Fonzie, the rough and tough "bad boy" on
Happy Days, appears in this PSA to teach kids a little known self-defense tool called "the honk." I've never heard of it, I've never used it, and even if a situation called for it, I'd rather keep my mouth shut and cling to my ego instead.
Mom got these.
