Well, since you brought it up....<G>
Actual headline from the Sports section of the Sunday, June 29 Journal News in Hamilton! Ohio (large banner): "Holyfield - by an ear!"
Q. What did Tyson say to Holyfield after the referee took two points away from him? A. "Come 'ear."
Q: What did Tyson say to Don King back in the dressing room? A: You're right it did taste like chicken!
If Tyson gets banned for life, he could always become a barber. Think about it: You could walk into his shop and say, "Hey, Mike! Could you take a little off the ears?
Have you heard that Holyfield-Tyson III is going to be held in Tennessee? Yeah, Don King's calling it the Chattanooga Chew Chew.
The rematch will be shown on the Food Network.
