Today marks the 60th anniversary of the original broadcast of "The Pipe." Feel free to post your comments on the episode. I will plan to watch it tonight.

Larry Mondello: Sure. It's just like blowing bubbles, only you breathe the other way.

Beaver calls it a Messerschmidt pipe.

Larry asks if it is a German saxophone!

June to Ward: Admiring your memento of the Fatherland?

How could Fred Rutherford cause so much trouble all the way from Germany?

Remember, Larry had gathered the "tobacco" by scraping up ashes from an ashtray. I think they would have been sicker than they seemed.

I love to drink coffee, but smoking coffee grounds sounds gross.

Between coffee grounds and ashes from an ashtray, I'd think they both would have been severely sick.

I thought Beaver would argue with Larry like he did in Ward’s Baseball and not agree to smoke the pipe. Instead he easily agrees to smoke the pipe with coffee and light matches. It wasn’t even his pipe.

Yeah, especially since Beaver was feistier (wow--what a word--as June says to Ward when he uses the word "gumption", "Land sakes, Granny!") in the early seasons.
