Florence Henderson: Former NYC Mayor, John Lindsay Gave Me Crabs. Shocked?


New York City saw the continuation of a steep decline under the mayorship of John Lindsay, who reigned over the city from 1966-1973. Teachers went on strike, riots were fought and mounds of garbage filled the city streets.


Turns out he had some sanitation problems in his personal life, too.


Florence Henderson, most famous for her run as Carol Brady on the campy TV classic, "The Brady Bunch," reveals in her new memoir that she had a one-night stand with the Mayor while they were both in Beverly Hills. Henderson was married to Ira Bernstein at the time.


"I was lonely. I knew it wasn't the right thing to do. So, what did I do? I did it," she writes in "Life Is Not A Stage," the NY Daily News reports. And, following a night's sleep at home, she found out the hard way about the City that Never Sleeps.


"Guess I learned the hard way that crabs do not discriminate but cross over all socioeconomic strata," Henderson writes. "He must have had quite the active life. What a way to put the kibosh on a relationship."


Interestingly, this wasn't Lindsay's only brush with show business; he appeared in the 1975 film, "Rosebud," alongside Peter O'Toole, and, in another wooing of a beloved lady actress, sang to Angela Landsbury at the Tony Awards that same year.


Henderson stayed married to Bernstein until their divorce in 1985; she later married Dr. John Kappas, who passed in 2002. Lindsay died in 2000.

    Actually, am a little surprised this was discussed at all. But if that's what you want to talk about, let me pitch in a couple unsolicited ditties on the subject.

    First of all, those little crabbies are tricky buggers, to say the least. Did you know that if Joe Blow -- or Jane Blow, for that matter -- were to have an infestation and was sitting in a chair and got up and left and you came in right behind them and sat down in that chair, you have a strong possibility of catching the crabs.

    Secondly, for those of you who snort with laughter over those people who use those throw-away toilet seat covers when they use public bathrooms, let me inform you that if the person who used that toilet right before you did happened to have crabs and you came along and sat on that seat -- bam! And, unfortunately, I speak from experience on that one. I didn't even know what crabs were before then! Oh, lord, unpleasant memory, that one.

    Now excuse me while I go to the restroom and scrub my eyes, hands and Netherworld Regions before my mind runs away from home.

    Worse, was single and still living with Ma and Pa. But we were overseas and my mother knew all about what I pointed out. But she came out of the old Victorian era, honestly, and it was embarrassing, but you gotta do what you gotta do. You gotta get rid of the little buggers quickly and my wise mama handed me a razor with a dull blade. An experience I likewise will never forget. What I didn't know was the women who lived in the barracks (both military and civilian employees) had a jug of this pink cream that kills crabs on contact, and they keep it in their bathroom for those "emergency occasions." God, the things that I learned that I would never have even a hint of had I been raised in a "normal" household in the States instead of roaming around the world on military bases. But, oh, some of them are funny.....

    Hollywood is the place where anything is ok. If you are a big enough star you are allowed to do anything and get away with it. But in the end who cares.

    You can get crabs just from sleeping in a bed with them.

    Those things will just get you.
