Yep. You guessed it. Today we're paying homage to Will Rogers, who died 72 years ago today.
Suprisingly, his quotes aren't immortalized in TV ep titles. Maybe they just have too many words.
What about his filmography? Well, I chose two of his flicks — Boys Will Be Boys (1921) and Life Begins At Forty (1935). Why these two? I wish I could say something significant. Historical. Maybe even amusing. But I can't. I chose them only because TV ep titles are likely to have multiple variations of these two phrases. Maybe not even homages, but at least they'll be similar.
Some say Life Begins At Forty, but when else does life start? And what about death?
