The Story Of Fred And Wilma Flinstone

Fred, Vilma and Pebbles Flinstone.
The story of Fred and Wilma Flinstone is an intriguing tale of love and deceit. Frederick Joseph Flinstone was born many years ago in the fictional Stone Age. His place of residence was a town called Bedrock. Although an animated character, he brought a great deal of joy and laughter to television audiences in the 1960s. Not a great deal of information has been available on his early life. This may be due to the fact that they kept few records in the Stone Age.
Wilma Pebble Slaghoople was born around the same time as Fred. Information has been sketchy. However it is believed that Fred and Wilma met a long time ago. They both worked at a fancy hotel. Fred and his best friend, Barney Rubble, worked as bell hops. Wilma and her friend Betty were cigarette girls.
For those of you unfamiliar with the job, cigarette girls were popular, back in the day. Most of the time, pretty young girls were used to attract the attention of customers. They walked around with a display of smoking items. It fit on them with two suspender type of straps. Hotel and restaurant patrons could get smokes, matches, and lighters. This was when smoking was in vogue.
Fred was immediately infatuated by the lovely Wilma. Barney was obviously smitten with Betty. The girls were not love struck, but they found the boys to be cute. Fred and Barney decided to lie to the girls and tell them they were wealthy guests. The girls thought they would do the same.
This went well for a while. One day the girls were dancing with the boys on the hotel dance floor. The hotel owner caught them. He openly announced that he did not pay bell hops to dance with cigarette girls. The boys were shocked that the girls would lie to them. The girls could not believe that the boys could be so deceitful.
Then they realized that they had a great deal in common. They were all dishonest, when it came to love. This was the start of beautiful relationships. They all got married and lived in the suburbs. Everything worked out very well for Fred and Wilma Flinstone. For some strange reason, their lives mirrored another famous couple by the name of Ralph and Alice Kramden. Barney and Betty also bore an eerie resemblance to Trixie and Ed Norton.
