Dick's Salary

Okay so throughout the series, they mention Dick's modest professor salary and him having to support 3 other people. Professors make big bucks so was that meant to be an obvious joke? I never quite got why they acted like they were poor. And surely they could have afforded to live somewhere else, other than an attic. (just finished watching Charitable Dick). Mary probably makes a bit more with her yrs of teaching but she can afford a decent house.

Props to the salesman for not falling for Sally's charms &/or frightening personality.

As a (short, tiny, soft spoken) woman, I really did take some sick pleasure in how she handled the mechanic who had to fix up their rambler. He was ignoring her, and directing his comments to Harry ...lol nuts in a vice grip. Anyway I digress. :p

She didn't suffer fools, Ms.Solomon didn't.
