It seems Full House star Bob Saget is full of anger. And it's kind of being directed at none other than Boy Meets World actress Danielle Fishel.

To backtrack a bit, in the March issue of Maxim, Fishel recalled how she was on a private jet to Disney World with the rest of the T.G.I.F. crew.

"We were trying to take a nap, and all of a sudden Bob Saget walks down the aisle, rips open our curtain, and shouts, 'Do you guys have any coke?!' Then he looks my dad in the eye, laughs, and closes the curtain," she told the magazine.

Well, apparently Saget was none-too-pleased and, on Wednesday, the comedian proceeded to take a few pot-shots at Fishel in a statement to Maxim.

"What show was she on? 'Big Chest, Small Wonder'? That's the real size of her, by the way. She's kind of like Bilbo Baggins, very tiny."

He added, regarding the plane story: "So first off, I don't open curtains. That was a lie, because I don't do that. I knock on things. Also, there weren't separate compartments on the plane. Anyway, the whole thing was as simple as me going to the restroom and throwing out a one-liner. I was always making jokes; that's what I did. Yes, it did have a drug reference in it, but the joke was that her parents should protect this kid who was starring in a television show. It was just a funny thing, like a satiric moment of, 'What are we doing with our kids?' I wouldn't expect someone to understand it if they don't get that kind of humor."

Saget concluded by joking: "How old is that girl now anyway? Isn't she like 60? I don't know how old she was when she did the show, but I'll always tell the judge she was 18."

Meanwhile, Fishel tweeted the following to Maxim in the wake of Saget's comments.

"Maybe you should have printed what I said at the end 'we knew he was joking. It was funny,'" she wrote on Thursday. "He didn't pick up on that."
