Years ago I enjoyed watching Happy Days. Richie, Potsie, and Arthur Fonzarelli brought a bit of joy to my life. ‘The Fonz’ was cool. He could snap his fingers and girls would fall at his feet. He wore a leather jacket and his appearance made average males quiver with fear. He could hit the juke box at just the right spot and get the record to play without having to pay a dime. He also could not say “I was wrong.” There were some great moments when The Fonz would contort his face and his mouth would pucker around the words that he just could not state: “I was wrong.”
