    The origin of the term "piggy bank" goes back to the era (1800s or so) when people would save their household money in pots made of a cheap, orange clay called "pygg." The pots were called "pygg pots" and that evolved into the term "pygg banks." Later, people started making banks shaped like pigs, either as a deliberate pun, or because they did not know the origin of the term.

    The late Rep. Patsy Takemoto Mink (D-Hawaii) was a legend. She served 24 years in the House of Representatives, and was the author of Title IX, which essentially gave women's sports life in the NCAA. I had the privilege of knowing her and admiring her for her brains, her toughness, her sense of justice and her willingness to be a public servant when a person as bright as she could make a lot more money practicing law.

    Wow, *Arlene was on fire tonite! *Alan Arkin is Very handsome! * *Anne Jackson is lovely, * Eli Wallach so funny!
    *William Shatner's many accomplishments include three seasons in Shakespearean productions at Ontario's prestigious Stratford Festival Theatre, before eventually gaining fame as "Captain James Kirk."
    I also really enjoyed him in the TV series "Boston Legal."
    Now, age 95, he's just completed an actual trip to outer space and back!
    Re Dorothy's dramatic appearance, yes, some of the old styles are wacky to us now. But remember, the panelists were probably hustled into the makeup chair, painted and primped by professionals, and pretty much were in their control!
    Sometimes, Arlene's eyebrows looked downright dangerous...
    That Huge hair and heavy eyelashes were totally unbecoming to Dorothy in particular. Thank God it wasn't permanent! In later episodes, I notice that the makeup, hairstyles and lighting became much nicer to see :))

    Patsy Mink had it a lot easier than her predecessor first Congressman from Hawaii, Daniel Inouye, later a long serving senator. Inouye was also Asian-American and had been grievously wounded in WWII. When Inouye was elected, Sam Rayburn was still Speaker. When Inouye first introduced himself to Rayburn, Rayburn indicated that he already knew who Inouye was, which surprised Inouye. Inouye asked Rayburn why that was. To his great credit, when telling the story, Inouye made Rayburn look good. But in actuality, what Rayburn said was, "There aren't too many one-armed Japs in the House."

      Men like eli and Jeff Bridges for example have stuck to one woman. even Martin Scorsese who's married five times has stuck to women his age. Not excusing himself for a newer model. Those are the type of men we should look up to. they're wonderful.

    A year later, Eli Wallach would play Tuco the Mexican Bandit in one of the greatest Italian epics ever made: "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly".
    And the best part was that he didn't need to be dubbed by a cheap impersonator. Wallach dubbed himself, as did Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Clef. Wallach could do a great Spanish accent.

      Bennett's first question didn't give too much away. The second question absolutely did. Once you knew that Rep. Mink was elected the game was all but over.

      However in March 1965 she had just been elected to her first term less than six months earlier and was a freshman congresswoman from a rather non-influential state about as far away from New York as one can get and still be in the U.S. She might have had a few moments of fame at the time of her election as the first Asian-American woman (and first woman of any ethnic minority) to be elected to Congress, but that sort of thing wasn't amplified the way it is now.
      As a political science major who graduated from an Ivy League university in 1974 and always have been interested in politics (and therefore have shown great restraint to abide by the wishes of the channel owner), I knew who she was before she even finished signing her name. And I thought that one of the regular panelists might now who she was. But even Bennett had to ask two questions to confirm his suspicions and the "Yes" answers to those questions pretty clinched an early solving of her line. A yes to the non-profit organization question alone probably would not have done it. Yes to her being elected narrowed it down to Congress, the Governor's mansion, state legislature, judgeship or city of Honolulu office. And knowing that Bennett had heard of her would tend to make it either national or gubernatorial.

    I don't think it was fair for Mr. Brooks to say that his product is more useful than decorative. If he didn't want to give anything extra away by saying "both," then he should have said no. Piggy banks are most certainly designed to be decorative! And Dorothy even tried to clarify that, to which John waffled and said that it had been stated that it is useful, implying that they had *not* said it was *more* useful than decorative, even though that's exactly what Mr. Brooks did say. Oddly, Dorothy did not choose to take issue with this misleading bit of misinformation.

    According to Wikipedia, the earliest pig-shaped money containers date to the 12th century on the island of Java. It is believed that the popularity of western piggy banks originates in Germany. Wikipedia goes on to say that there are a number of folk etymologies of the English language term "piggy bank", but in fact there is no clear origin of the phrase, which only dates back to the 1940's. The Google Ngram Viewer, which draws graphs of the frequency with which words and phrases have appeared in books published from 1800 to the present, confirms that, aside from two tiny earlier blips, the use of “piggy bank” in American English started in 1940 and in British English in 1955.

    Star Trek was not a major success in its original run. Fandom had to stop it from being canceled. Unfortunately for Shatner Hollywood type-casted him as Kirk. He was a character actor before Star Trek. Afterwards he couldn't get work. He went from the Captain's Chair to living in his car. He had to do B-movies and game shows to earn a living. With Star Wars a blockbuster and Star Trek becoming a hit in syndication was the first Star Trek movie made. It was from there Shatner was able to make a name for himself in Hollywood given a second chance. He was never an A-list actor, but he achieved fame and fortune at top of the B-list.

    Piggy Bank ~ During The Middle Ages, in about the 15th century, metal was expensive and seldom used for household wares. Instead, dishes and pots were made of an economical clay called "PYGG". Whenever people could save an extra coin, they dropped it into one of their clay jars.They called this their pygg bank or their piggy bank.

    Two things are different in this episode: the sponsor's advert has gone from the panel's desk and from the signing-in board but John Daly announces 'a word from our sponsor', so there was still a sponsor of the show. The second point is Dorothy's false eyelashes which resemble dead birds and her rather puffy face. Arlene Francis got sharper and more witty with age but Dorothy seems rather lost. Here in the UK we would call Bennet Cerf's humour 'dad jokes' because they get more groans than laughs, but he grins like a cheeky schoolboy and all is forgiven.
