This episode explains the curious origin of our phrase "He can't hold a candle to you" which we use to show that someone is very inferior. Also how we come to use the phrase and verb, "to goldbrick" to goof off while appearing to be working. It is American in origin and comes from early con artists.
This sparkling episode sponsored by the Hokey Pokey: Because that's what it's REALLY all about.
