March 11, 1950 –
A very funny Bugs Bunny cartoon, directed by Chuck Jones, Homeless Hare, was released on this date.
When Bugs falls into the rain water barrel and regains his senses after taking an I-beam to the head, he laments that “This isn’t Saturday night.” Bugs is referring to the common practice of rural and farm people of taking one bath a week, usually on Saturday night, so they can be clean for church the next day.
