Thanks, Doc for making a house call.
Those G-D cigarette ads drive me crazy.

Using a set of Log tables to do calculations or a Slide rule. I was never good with the slide rule.

She must have been an adherent of the "sticks and stones" persuasion!

I could see a Second City bit made from that.

which reminds me of an oldie but a goodie

Two nuns, Sister Marilyn and Sister Helen, are traveling through Europe in their car. They get to Transylvania and are stopped at a traffic light.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a diminutive Dracula jumps onto the hood of the car and hisses through the windshield.
"Quick, quick!" shouts Sister Marilyn, "What shall we do?"
"Turn the windshield wipers on. That will get rid of the unholy abomination," says Sister Helen.
Sister Marilyn switches them on, knocking Dracula about, but he clings on and continues hissing at the nuns.
"What shall I do now?" she shouts.
"Switch on the windshield washer. I filled it up with Holy Water in the Vatican, this morning" says Sister Helen.
Sister Marilyn turns on the windshield washer. Dracula screams as the water burns his skin, but he clings on and continues hissing at the nuns. "Now what?" shouts Sister Marilyn.
"Er... show him your cross?" says Sister Helen.
"Now you're talking," says Sister Marilyn as she opens the window and yells,... "Oi! Get off my ****ing car!"

Years ago when I was an undergrad I was taking a Medieval English Literature class that was taught by this small, elderly, and rather prim lady. One day before class a couple of guys were discussing the origin of the F word. They couldn't come to an agreement by the time our professor arrived so one of them decided to ask her, "Dr. Tomlinson, is it true that the F word is a medieval acronym of For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge?" Dr. Tomlinson, sets her bag down at the lectern and replied "Oh no dear, f**k is an Anglo Saxon verb meaning to thrust or stab." She then gave a short impromptu lecture on the manner in which Anglo-Saxons used the word. The entire class was rolling with laughter.

Heard a more recent, contemporary version, the agitation source was a couple teen kids in a loud boy-racer car with a booming sound system. Similar dialogue, same punchline.

If you've never seen it, there is a positively hilarious YouTube video of the meaning of the word by Shainarious. I can't post the link here because I like being able to come here! You'll have to look it up.
