I pride myself on knowing all sorts of meaningless trivia, but this one passed right by me. Today is known as "Felix Unger Day." Felix is the character from the Odd Couple movie/television show. I know him best as being portrayed by Tony Randall - in the television series. The Jack Lemmon version in the movie was a little bit before my viewing time. Well, anyway, it is Felix Unger Day today - November 13th - because at the start of each "Odd Couple" show - the background vocal guy would say:On November 13, Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence. (Unger's unseen wife slams door. She reopens it and angrily hands Felix his saucepan) That request came from his wife. Deep down, he knew she was right, but he also knew that someday, he would return to her. With nowhere else to go, he appeared at the home of his childhood friend, Oscar Madison. Sometime earlier, Madison's wife had thrown him out, requesting that he never return. Can two divorced men share an apartment without driving each other crazy?"
Here is a snippet of that now famous intro, as well as another classic Odd Couple Scene. And - before I forget - Happy Felix Unger Day.
