. . . always has been one of America's most challenging professions. The Bullwinkle Show's 44th episode of its second season includes a Public Service Announcement reminding mothers not to let their children grow up to be window washers. Ironically titled HOW TO WASH WINDOWS AND BE A SMASH SUCCESS, this Mr. Know-It-All segment documents the pitfalls certain to dog the heels of any individuals foolhardy enough to take a crack at cleaning glass panes amid the open skies. Such gratuitous risk is not for the faint of heart, Bullwinkle illustrates. The higher off the ground a squeegee-wielding daredevil ascends, the more ways there are to perish. It would be best to eliminate this crazy job by requiring urban towers to install self-cleansing glass.
