"Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated!"

When you heard those words being joyously sung from the television in the 1970s (if your homework was done), you knew you were in for a good show!  RIP Shirley, the Felix to Laverne's Oscar!  Funny thing is, I can still hear their unique voices now.  Just two funny-as-heck working girls in Milwaukee, with wacky neighbors waaaayyy before Kramer ("Hello" = Lenny and Squiggy)!  RIP Cindy Williams. Shirl was a great, straightman.... She joins Penny Marshall now in the afterworld and they surely are showing those re-runs across the globe. 

I'm sure somewhere, Carmine is in tears...  (*lifting a milk and Pepsi -- Laverne's drink -- in her memory)


UPDATE:  Squiggy and Carmine both died in December 2020, at 73 and 69 years of age.... Wow. Such a fun group.  And somebody referenced... Boo Boo Kitty.  These were our friends waaaay before Friends became a thing, (to some).
