Filler text in Leave it to Beaver
Remember discussing background text items in 30 Rock? Well, Ward Cleaver wasn’t having no lorem ipsum either. Shorpy took a freeze-frame from an episode of Leave it to Beaver, where Ward is reading a letter, and found the following text:
Another paragraph of stuff. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. My typing is lousy, but the typewriter isn’t so hot either. After all, why should I take the blame for these mechanical imperfections, with which all of us must contend. Lew Burdette just hit a home run and Milwaukee leads seven to one in the series. This is the last line of the filler material of the note. No, my mistake, that was only the next to last. This is last.
It’s like a time-capsule! Via BoingBoing.
