Tonight’s presentation is another true fact (absolutely the best kind of fact; false facts are no fun) from my sordid past. So many strange things have happened to me over the years that my wife calls me a “weird magnet” – and, yes, that begs the question of why she was ever attracted to me. But I digress…Several years ago, I was in the press box at a high school football game. The cheerleaders were out in front of the crowd, leading cheers (of course!). Three of them had signs to cue the crowd. The first sign said “GO” The second sign said “FIGHT” And the third sign said “WIN”.I’ll never know if she did it on purpose, but the third cheerleader was holding her sign upside down, and the crowd of mostly high school students was playing along, yelling Go! Fight! NIM!!It was almost beyond our ability to announce the game after that…
