No dog in this fight, sir, but just observing that one of the fastest growing trades these days is laser tattoo removal.

Some fan fiction sites posit the theory that the Jetsons predate the Flintstones and that Fred and Wilma live the way they do because of a cataclysmic event far in the past (just after George and Jane’s time) that no one remembers.
