"If you ask me, 'Beaver Cleaver' was just
a euphemism for 'penis', a dirty joke
slipped into an otherwise wholesome
 family comedy of the 1950s."

That always bothered me about the Cleavers. When that sort of barely disguised porno rears its head there's bound to be something worse lurking under the surface. Didn't Beaver Cleaver later become Johnny Wadd Holmes? I think I recall hearing he did sometime a long time ago.

Worse than that, Jules. In his post-TV life, he went in to real-estate development and banking.
