RIP Arnold

I woke up this morning and turned on CNN to hear:

"The man who taught the karate kid how to wax off has died..."

It was the first time I ever realized that "wax off" sounds suspiciously like "whacks off". Is this a joke I've been missing for years? Is that why people are always quoting that part of the movie? Does "sweep the leg" have a lascivious double meaning as well? What else have I been missing out on? Jeesh, and I thought I was pretty adept at catching the double entendres.

Anyway, RIP Mr. Miyagi:

First the ugly dog, then the stove top stuffing inventor lady, now Arnold. Who is left to live for?

Well if you missed the joke, I certainly did.

He was Arnold on Happy Days too. Which is how I remember him most.

pocket change, the show you're thinking of was "Ohara". Check out www.imdb.com for all your questions regarding actors, movies, tv shows, etc...
Best resource....ever
