Edit: John Banner was a poster model for a US war bonds poster. I saw it in the press when the show was first on. He was very good looking.

Yes, as I understand it he only put on the weight later.

Unsurprising I guess, there was a spoof series set around the mishaps of a pair of Catholic priests in Ireland, I commented to my friends that to get the best out of it you really needed to be Catholic, ideally related to a priest/bishop.

If you mean Father Ted, Catholicism is no prerequisite.

True, but Jack's funeral seemed funnier having been to my Bishop grand-uncle's funeral.

Thanks! That poster must be around somewhere. I think I saw it in the Sunday Parade Magazine in the newspaper. Your article said it's a recruiting poster; and that's probably right, not a war bonds poster.

I actually had a rabbi tell me one time that the Vulcan hand salute is the same gesture used to bless the congregation, and in a documentary about Nimoy, he mentioned his Orthodox upbringing and borrowing some of the traditions to create Spock. The Vulcans are my favorite race in the series followed by the Klingons.

Let's let it rest in peace, shall we?
