Hamms was popular back in the day but only the old guys drank it. As I recall.
I play lots of senior softball in the spring, summer and fall and played with this old guy named Homer.
Homer was a cheap ass, penny pinching leftist who always brought Hamms beer to the picnic table after our games. He and I once got into an argument where he claimed that Communism was the perfect form of govt..........But I digress...
Two years ago after a pick up game, we were sitting at the picnic table when one of the guys drove out to pick up a couple of pizzas for us. Another guy named Nick said to Homer, "when are you going to buy us a pizza?" Homer laughed and said "Over my dead body".........
Well, a week later Homer died and never having married, he left his vast wealth to his niece and nephew but it took us almost two weeks to locate them while Homer rested in the local morgue.
So the niece and nephew held the funeral as well as the dinner afterwards at a local bar and restaurant.
All the guys who attended took advantage of the open bar and menu and ordered to their heart's content knowing that finally Homer ultimately paid for something.................LOL!
As cruel as it might seem, we still joke about Homer's last words......."Over My Dead Body"........
