Anyone remember the episode The Hustler, where Felix's opera club was raising money for costumes for Madame Butterfly and Oscar had to win the money by beating Sure Shot Wilson in a pool match? The one thing i remember about the episode is that Sure Shot had one of the worst sitcom coughs of all-time as a result of smoking four packs of cigarettes a day.

I enjoy this episode every time I see it. The episode title would make you think it's the Bobby Riggs episode. Given Tony Randall's stance on cigarette smoking, you'd expect him in that Sure Shot scene to do the covering his mouth and shaking his head response he did one time when Oscar did something disgusting.

watching an episode of Mr. Lucky, on METV, and Stanley Adams (sure shot) was playing Mr Lucky a game of pool, for $500,000. Before he would take a shot, he would pull out a cigarette. Of course, he lost.....
