I remember reading that Ethel Merman claimed when she divorced him that he was into wife-beating.

Never heard that, and highly doubt it. BUT...

She did write that he would fart in bed and hold her under the covers. If that's her definition of "beating," well, that's her opinion.

“She did write that he would fart in bed and hold her under the covers.”

They call that a “Dutch Oven” in these parts.

Wife beating? Well if I had been married to Ethel Merman I probably would have..... Oh never mind.

A few bars from Ethyl of 'I've got rhythm' would solve that problem. Ernie would willingly go sleep in the car.
