Summary

On episode #132 of The Shallow End, hilarity ensues when Jethro regales us with the tale of a laundry hamper. Not just any hamper, mind you – but one placed inadvertently in a man’s bedroom so as to catch something other than dirty tee shirts and socks. What the man “caught” in his hamper was quite a surprise. Let’s just say it culminated with a call to 9-11. Then Lindsay has a story from the Wayback Machine. It takes us all on a holiday in 1964 in Midtown Manhattan. If you thought the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parades were spectacular enough, you ain't heard nothin’ yet. Just add a drunk TV star and an inflatable dinosaur who has a disagreement with a light pole! Someone call the fire department – ‘cause this episode is EN FUEGO!
