I think I'm to damn old. I knew all the answers.

And for extra points, it was Buddy Holly & Richy Valance.

Have a good day.

I'm so damn old, I've even forgot how to spell.
I answered before reading the rest of page 2. It's been a long day.

On #10 I confused Freddie with Clem, but then that is probably just more proof that I am an old fart............

[General Bon Vivant]

Otherwise I must say I was pretty impressed with your knowledge. you make me proud!!

Wasn't the Big Bopper also known as Jiles Richardson. It's ok if you don't know Ira. That information most likely wasn't in your American History books.

Have a good day.

[madjack]

Jiles Perry Richardson to be absolutely correct aka JP Richardson aka "The Big Bopper".............................

It's against the law to make love to a virgin, whatever the circumstances,
anywhere in the state of Washington. According to the wording of the
legislation, it's a major crime even to marry and then spend the night with
a virgin bride in that State.

A Japanese company and an American company decided to have a canoe race on
the Missouri River. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak
performance before the race.
On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile. The Americans, very discouraged
and depressed, decided to investigate the reason for the crushing defeat.

A management team made up of senior management was formed to investigate and
recommend appropriate action. Their conclusion was the Japanese had eight
people rowing and one person steering, while the American team had eight
people steering and one person rowing.

So American management hired a consulting company and paid them a large
amount of money for a second opinion. They advised that too many people were
steering the boat, while not enough people were rowing.

To prevent another loss to the Japanese, the rowing team's management
structure was totally reorganized to four steering supervisors, three area
steering superintendents and one assistant superintendent steering manager.

They also implemented a new performance system that would give the one
person rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the
"Rowing Team Quality First Program", with meetings, dinners and free pens
for the rower.

There was discussion of getting new paddles, canoes and other equipment,
extra vacation days for practices and bonuses.

The next year the Japanese won by two miles. Humiliated, the American
management laid off the rower for poor performance, halted development of a
new canoe, sold the paddles and cancelled all capital investments for new
equipment.

The money saved was distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses, and the
next year's racing team was outsourced to India.

I was in the airport VIP lounge en route to Seattle a couple of weeks ago.

While in there, I noticed Bill Gates sitting comfortably in the corner,
enjoying a drink. I was meeting a very important client who was also flying
to Seattle, but she was running a little bit late. Well, being a
straightforward kind of guy, I approached the Microsoft chairman, introduced
myself, and said, "Mr. Gates, I wonder if you would do me a favor."
"Yes?"

"I'm sitting right over there," pointing to my seat at the bar, and I'm
waiting for a very important client. Would you be so kind when she arrives
as to come walk by and just say "Hi Tom?"
"Sure."
I shook his hand and thanked him and went back to my seat.

About ten minutes later, my client showed up. We ordered a drink and started
to talk business.

A couple of minutes later, I felt a tap on my shoulder. It Was Bill Gates.
"Hi, Tom," he said.

I replied, "Shut up, Bill, I'm in a meeting."

Mad Jack, You know who "didn't" die in the plane crash because he gave up his seat to Buddy?

Waylon Jennings but it was The Big Bopper (Richardson) who got his seat. Buddy Holly was the one who had chartered the plane.

Oooops, sorry Kurt.. I shouldn't have jumped in here. I didn't pay attention to the time of your post. Apologies... Dave

[Gage]

Did you know that Waylon Jennings play'd with the Beach Boys for a short period of time?

Have a good day.
