3. Maury Amsterdam, on the Dick Van Dyke Show...

Had a wife named Pickles....

She never appeared, was just talked about....

I like to think that is why.,...

But I am sure it is because people believe she is always two sheets to the wind....

6. Thanks :)

Im sure the Dick Van Dyke show wasnt something she watched, she is much too stone faced for slap stick comedy----but the two sheets to the wind I believe LOL.

Thanks again

Anyways, here are 2 websites:

This one talks about the history of pickles.

http://www.answers.com/topic/pickle
Under the word history, the origin of the word “pickle” is discussed.

From one random data/info collector to another, I hope this helps. :D

Thanks for the great info. Just to let you in on some DU slang and lingo, Pickles is the nickname for Laura Bush.
