Happy Days ping.

Anyone remember the episode where Chachi had to wrestle Ox Baker in the parking lot of Al's so as to impress Joanie and the Fonz?

More importantly, remember the lesson learned about not risking your life just to be seen as "cool". The Fonz was great about reinforcing that message.

I always thought The Fonz was a little hypocritical in that.  Remember when Fonzie went to California and jumped the shark tank wearing water skis to impress Pinky Tuscadero's sister, Leather (Suzi Quatro)?
I idolized Fonzie growing up and used him as a surrogate big brother.  Influenced by that episode, I undertook an adventure that led to horrible consequences.  Things were never quite the same between The Fonz and me after that.
