What was Laverne doing in that closet?



65 seconds into the Laverne & Shirley intro, both characters simultaneously emerge, causing a collision of doors. Shirley from the hall and Laverne the closet. For decades it's been unknown what exactly Laverne was doing in there, and why. Here are a few possibilities:

1. Secretly producing her cult-inspiring, pirate radio show "Smoker's Breath and Teeth"
2. Relating to this green potato chip she'd found four days prior
3. Making a mockery of our nation's judicial system!!
4. Fine-tuning her epic poem Wont You Come? later to be stolen by Soundgarden and used verbatim in a disgusting, throw-up known as Black Hole Sun
5. Invading the day dreams of school children, murdering said school children
6. Waiting for her cue

Why don't we ask actress Penny Marshall herself? Penny, what was your character doing in that closet anyway?

"Four outta da above six, baby blue cheeses!"

Ok? Thanks for the closure?
