Back in the mid-80s, a coworker of mine went to Bonanza's All You Can Eat Shrimp night with his wife. She was a very large woman and she basically ate so much that the restaurant ran out of shrimp (I think he said it was about 10 reorders). After that night, they put a limit on how many reorders one person or table could have. Now it's possible they may have run out without her help, but one person having that much puts a strain on the entire store. And, the poor guy was teased about it for years.

I also remember watching The Far-Out Space Nuts, a Saturday morning kids show with Chuck McCann which was about two janitors who were cleaning an Apollo-like ship and accidentally hits the Launch button (guess who?) and end up going from planet to planet, meeting aliens and creatures along the way. It was cheesey but I was a kid so it didn't matter to me!
