Hi, just thought of something.
I have this friend who doesn't like sports. If you lived in Madison you would know him, because everybody knows Captain Baker, an eccentric guy who runs a charter sail boat.
When he was a 22-year-old loser living at home and working as a security guard at Oscar Meyer's back in the 1960's, the factory workers, who were all huge packer fans, would play tricks on him. They would tell him to page "Bart Starr", or "Fuzzy Thurston", and Baker would announce to 3000 factory workers, "Bart Starr, line 1".
The whole factory would stop operations briefly to laugh. My friend never figured out the joke until the 1970's.
That's the story, hope you enjoyed it.
