This episode was also done on the TV version in March of 1959. One reviewer
had this to say about the title:
"And, oh yes, check out the rather puzzling title to the entry. My guess is
it's gutter slang for "a bungled task". I don't think the production crew
expected draft titles to reach the public, and probably had a chuckle over
this one."
However, this could hardly be a "draft title" since it was rewritten from
the radio version. None-the-less, my first guess when I saw the title was
"Foul Up", which is being very polite.

Jack French notes,
Dominick Cancilla asks for a book on OTR [removed] pictures.
While there are a number of such books, some (including "Tomart's Price Guide
to Radio Premiums" by Tom Tumbusch) are no longer in print. Jim Harmon
published two, but again, they are out of print. The best and most current
one is "Official Price Guide to Pop Culture Memorabilia" by Ted Hake. It's
over a 1,000 pages and it includes toys, games, and souvenirs of pop culture,
in addition to every OTR premium ever issued.
Tom Tumbusch's book is excellent. Although out pH print, I've seen
copies at u sed-book sites, including Amazon, and on eBay.
The books are called "price guides," but naturally, the prices of these
gadgets have changed since the time of publication.
Since the books appeared, I've seen both replicas and counterfeits of
various premiums, so anyone seeking premiums for purchase should approach
any offered premiums with a little caution.

In Issue #8, Matthew Bullis asks among other things:
s it The FU, [removed];, or F [removed] In any case, what's the reference?
[removed] stands for exactly what you think it does.
