* BaffledByOwnBiology: In "The Fonz is Allergic to Girls", Fonzie puts on a new kind of aftershave, which causes a chemical reaction when combined with his girlfriends' perfume and makes smoke, which makes Fonzie sneeze. He doesn't realise that it's the smoke that's making him sneeze and thinks he's somehow become allergic to women, then when he kisses two women from out-of-town who aren't wearing perfume, he thinks he's specifically allergic to Milwaukee women.
