- was in Seattle in the mid-80s at a high-end hotel for a conference...

- i get in the elevator to go up to my room and there are four or five big guys in there... really tall, muscular...

- so i say, "Oh, sports players?"

- one of 'em pipes up and says, "Yea, Mariners."

- so i say, "Oh, I don't watch hockey."

- it was really, really quiet for the rest of the ride.
