sabills Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 According to Wikipedia he was the goaltender coach for the Japan men's national ice hockey team from 2006 to 2011. I bet Taro put in a good word for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pastajoe Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) According to Wikipedia he was the goaltender coach for the Japan men's national ice hockey team from 2006 to 2011. I bet Taro put in a good word for him. Turns out one of his goalies had bad eyesight. He told the goalie to get it checked, that he might have a cataract. The goalie replied, "No, I drive a Rincoln Continental". Edited July 2, 2015 by pastajoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarasotaSabre Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Turns out one of his goalies had bad eyesight. He told the goalie to get it checked, that he might have a cataract. The goalie replied, "No, I drive a Rincoln Continental". in today's uber-sensitive PC world, you'd normally be pilloried for your ethnically poor joke; but I'm totally cool with it, except it reminds me of my 82 y/o Dad asking me for the 150th time, "did I ever tell you the one about the goalie who thought he had a cataract?". I have to indulge my Pops, of course, but it's still kind a weak joke. Thanks for adding some levity to the board, however.....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Not quite sure I get the logo. From wikipedia: The name 'Whoopee' was a reference to a sexual slang, popularized by the Gus Kahn-penned tune "Makin' Whoopee" and the TV game show The Newlywed Game. Facilitating the double entendre, the second team's mascot was the whooping crane, menaced by a bee ("the birds and the bees"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
