There’s an actual Sanford and son junkyard that predates the show in Tiverton RI. They have a newspaper article in their waiting room about it.

Second Colvitos. They’re awesome

I read somewhere that a union officer was interviewed about “amphibious assults” (I don’t think that’s what it was called but that’s what what it is. It was after a battle in the western theatre) and asked if the army or navy was more important. He replied along the lines of “the blades of a pair of shears are useful alone but together can do so much more”. I don’t remember the exact quote, who said it (though I believe it was an admiral) or where I even read it. I can’t find any info on it. Does anyone know who said it?

Don’t forget our lost territory of Maine
