This is going to sound like a Kelly Leeks story, but it’s true all of it!





I normally don't hate cops. They have a tough job. But this guy was one of THOSE cops - the kind that take pleasure in using their authority to be a dick.
Did he give you a ticket for something made up or something legit? I’m trying to figure out why he was a dick.
 




I had lunch two years ago with a new sales specialist from a company from which we buy a lot of gear. During the meal he told me he was on the U of W spirit squad and he was Bucky Badger back in his student days. I had to count to ten because I was ready to flip the table up, spilling drinks and food upon him. Pure evil incarnate at a business lunch.
 




Drove to the Milwaukee area last night with my wife, to beat the snowstorm out of town. Stopped in at a Culver's in Columbus, WI, about 30 miles north of Madison on WI60 at about 9:30 pm.

I have been married 31 years, and have made this trip hundreds of times, and have stopped at just about every joint on this route over that time. As usual, I am wearing something representing Minnesota, and tonight if was my maroon, with gold M ball cap.

The Culver's was full as a high school sporting event had just wrapped up in this small town...basketball? wrestling?

Upon entry, the loooong, dirty looks commenced.... cold astonished stares at me, without the social graces to look away after a moment.... from 5-6 different people. I have never been locked in on due to U of M alliance like this in the past. Another diner, a gentleman in his late 50's like me, stared me down from two tables away through my entire meal.

After I finished eating, and while my wife finished up, I got up, bussed our tray and made a bathroom visit prior to hitting the road. When I got out of the can, he was waiting for me. He pointed to my cap, told me the logo was "upside down" and he told me that he hopes the Badgers "destroy the rodents"... I expected a bit of banter, but he just turned to the side and walked off looking back at me... , so I motioned back and forth with my hands to indicate that I feel the same in reverse.

Bottom line, Badger fans feel threatened like never before. It felt good in a perverse way.
It's kinda like wearing a Trump red baseball cap.
 


I wore a University of Wisconsin sweatshirt to an appointment at the University of Minnesota hospital. The Dr. made fun of me. Asshole.
Should have asked for a second opinion. Might have told you “you’re ugly too”.
