“Hey I was watching Lucy Learns To Drive this mourning and this is another episode where Ricky is stuppid. Buys a car then leaves it parked out on the street outside the apratment building. Now come on Ricky this is the 4th season you should of none that Lucy was going to pull something while you was off at the club? Also Ricky leaves the keys inside his new car in New York city?!
“Now I know this was the 50's and crime was not as bad as today. But I'm sure even in the 1950's you dont go and leave you're keys in you're car?
“Yeah also Lucy wrecks the new car and Ricky tells Ethel and Fred everthing is ok because he got the car insured. Well how do you explain to the insurance company what happen? "My wife who dont have a license wanted to give are land lady a driving lesson and she ended up wrecking the car"
I think that would be hard to explain to you're insurance company? Of course this was the 1950's so maybe things was difrent back then? You did need a drivers licence in the 50's right? Yeah well this was before my time so what do I know?”
