Why do Referees wear bow ties? ("Why not?") They look really stupid and out of place in them. Like there's something bow-tie about two guys pounding each other into exoskeletal pulp.

Bolero, I could see maybe a bolero; or a bandana kerchief.

But a bow tie? Gimme a break.

I'd smack him first.

Now here's a fact I bet you DIDN"T know. As poor Harry lay on the mat after the KO, he opened his swollen eyes painfully, gazed blurrily at his trainer, the well-known Paddy O'Day, and moaned , "Day-o'Day-ay-ay-o--Daylight come and me wan' go home."

O' Day, an opportunist who was quick to realize that the big bucks weren't going to come from the boxing venue, immediately put pen to paper and composed the immortal Banana Boat Song.

Actually, Johnny Mathis was quite a track and field athlete in his youth. I believe he was a high jumper or pole vaulter or hurdler. No match in the ring for Sonny Liston, though.

Then the Nineties rolled around and we were treated to such cynical fiascos as the terminally overhyped bout of Eddie Murphy's stunt double vs. Milli Vanilli.
