Dear Brahma...

The following is copied from Brahma's World:

Another question for the Brahma. Ted Williams, frosted or singed? Would you like to have a little Ted in you or better ashes to ashes? You thoughts please.

Thank you for another insightful question, Bongo.

It's my understanding that the "Splendid Splinter" requested a Viking sendoff. To do otherwise takes more nerve than a bad tooth. Does John Henry Williams think people will pay big bucks to use Ted's DNA to reproduce another .400 hitter, or a war hero jet pilot? That same DNA didn't do John Henry much good! Usually, they say, the offspring spring higher than what they sprung off of. (Amos & Andy)

I noticed a lot of signed Williams memorabilia the last couple of years after hearing for many years how he didn't sign stuff. Apparently, that was John Henry's influence too. So now his gravy train has ended. How can he milk every last penny? You know how they sell baseball cards now with a slice of the players game used bat? How much for a Ted Williams baseball card with a slice of Ted Williams?
Sing along everybody!
Oh when John Henry was a little baby...
Sittin' on his daddy's knee...
He said "Oh daddy, you're a wood
swingin' man
But when you die your nuts I'm gonna
freeze, Lord, Lord
When you die your nuts I'm gonna freeze

Brahma sez: Take two and hit to right!
