But the association with the left side of the body goes farther than just patches. Lapel pins go on the left lapel, and when hung vertically from a wall the union goes to the viewers' left.

No no no. TGIF is a block of ABC family friendly programming starting at 8pm on Friday nights.

And what did ABC say it stood for?

They said they stood for good family values.......until the guy from step by step was caught beating his girlfriend.
