Here's what you can do, Teddy---- Gather all your photos of folks who over the years stopped by your tying booth. Have cardboard cutouts made of their faces, and position those in front of your tying table at home. It's always the same old "herd" who walks up to chat at the shows. Tie at home, and t...

At one of the golf tournaments, Tiger Woods was at the first tee being announced. They started naming all the events he had won, until, finally, Phil Mickleson yelled, "Wouldn't it be easier if you named the ones he hasn't won?"
