Everyone denies it, including Biondi himself claiming that the joke was told by Bob Hope on TV that night (and got bleeped), but I was listening when it happened.

It was about 9:45 on a Saturday night, I believe. Bindi claimed to be looking down over the Miracle Mile and said (to the best of my recollection), “You know, if the girls skirts get any shorter, they'll have two more cheeks to powder and another place to shave.” The station cut to commercial and Biondi never came back on. Perhaps he did proceed to get into a fight in the hallway as he claims, but I suspect that the fight wasn't about commercials as he has said. That might have been on his mind, too, along with the short skirts. And if Bob Hope was involved, Biondi stole the joke the same night.

Do you recall the year? I seem to recall hearing it too but my memory plays tricks on me, especially concerning events of approximately 50 years ago. I lived in southern Missouri at the time and every teenager was tuned to W.L.S. and especially to Dick Biondi.

I'm thinking it had to be 1963 or earlier as I went into the military in July '63 and my radio listening days were over.

Welcome to F.R. Don't push Mitt Romney or Ron Paul and you'll probably hang around a long time.

You will probably be called a "noob" a few times, let it bounce off and even though you're probably somewhere near my age (I'm 66) you will occasionally be treated as though you just started forming your political opinions the day you joined F.R. let that bounce off too.
