I was an avid DE, Sr. fan and even had his #3 with wings tattooed on my ankle when he died.
I have a huge collection of his diecast cars, leather jackets and other memorabilia.
Sorry, TMI I'm sure, LOL!

Didn't you ever got to the ballgame and the vendor asks "HOW MANY DO YOU WANT LADY?" And you raise your hand to show how many??? LOL!!!

Either 'A' or the 'thumb-two-three'. I picked that one up when I lived in Europe eons ago. It's - thumb, forefinger, and middle finger (inside of hand faces yourself). ![]()
