DON DRAPER: I grew up in a haunted house. I would put out bowls of spaghetti and tell visitors it was guts. Grapes, eyeballs. One of the older boys, who would lunge at people in a wolfman mask, looked after me. The only time I wasn’t scared was when I was eating Reese’s Pieces.

It’s crazy that the Jaws mayor’s anchor jacket isn’t available for purchase everywhere. You should be able to go into CVS or Ace Hardware and buy Mayor Vaughn’s anchor jacket in your size for $5

This is exactly--and I mean exactly--how Holocaust deniers have long discredited the Final Solution being a concerted effort & high-level order. "The Jews in the camps all died of typhoid outbreaks"
