ass handing

[Eric Zumbach]

Found numerous incidents of ass handing, one of which has been enumerated here before and others such as on pgs 221, 287, 334, 350...Also seen in V with the screw stomach boy and his convertible ass.  Like the "faithful Zippo," TRP seems to enjoy the image of someone having their ass handed to them--and invokes it frequently. 
Aside of the general state of ass handing in the 20th century, any one gleen anything else?
