A young man asked an old rich man how he made his money.
The old guy fingered his worsted wool vest and said, "Well, son, it was 1932. The depth of the Great Depression. I was down to my last nickel."
"I invested that nickel in an apple. I spent the entire day polishing the apple and, at the end of the day, I sold the apple for ten cents."
"The next morning, I invested those ten cents in two apples. I spent the entire day polishing them and sold them at 5:00 pm for 20 cents. I continued this system for a month, by the end of which I'd accumulated a fortune of $1.37."
"Then my wife's father died and left us two million dollars."

4-0 is pretty strong--Pitt came up with the answer: BANG MANNING. lol but ya dodge a bullet on that last FG attempt!
I looked into some online places at the first season, but never settled on a good one...I do like that one bet they got, where if ya win the first one, you can lose the second one and still go on to the third game...

Back in the day it was not called "Light" or "Light" (light was the spelling of the first so advertised by Pearl) beer, but "near beer". Here in Texas the alcohol content was defined by the Legislature as 3.2% or less and restrictions on the sale of "alcoholic beverages" did not apply to near beer.
When so called "light beer came to be advertised heavily back in the 70s, for a time it was known, byt the beer drinkers of that day, as "practice beer".

Heck, this ain't no draut. That was bak in tuh 50s.
They say 'twas started in 50 and ended in 57, but they ain't ryte. That thar draut begun itself ryte after the damn flud in 49 thut had water into the secant floor ov Monkey Wards on West 7th.
But they's ryte about it endin in 57. Ah's camped out up stream about 4 miles o the brand spankin new Benbrook Dam they built to stop another flood from gettin into the Monkey Wards when the rain started. On the second day of the of rain, we discovered the dry crik we'd come across had fillt up and we's trapped on a triangle of mud with warter on three sides. We broke camp and had ta swum the crik and hike it out. Just made it......nuther day and whur we was camped was at the bottom of a brand spankin new lake that was a runnin 11 foot over the spillway.
Iffen yur ever fishin out thar and ya snag up a old timy WW II canteen and cookin kit from the bottum, it's mine and so's that irn skillet we left and the Coleman lantern too.

Should be a barnburner. I'd still like to see the 6th seed Steelers vs. the 5th seed Panthers. It would be the lowest seeds to ever meet each other in the Super Bowl.
