A long time ago, when I ran an accounting department in Seattle, a candidate for an Accounting Manager position attended college in Wisconsin and most of his first jobs were in that state, so he sounded like a native

I told the in-house recruiter to contact him for an interview, and ask what his bowling average was. She looked at me strangely and asked why. "Because he's from Wisconsin."

Later that day, she told me that the initial screening went well and an interview was set up for the next day. And, "his average is about 185."

Great story! Love it!

My Stepson won State in Bowling when he was in High School. He’s had a few 300 games.

I was in a Ladies League for a while. Our Team Name was ‘G.L.O.B.’ The ‘Gorgeous Ladies of Bowling.’ ;)

G.L.O.W. = The Gorgeous Ladies of Wresting - probably also a Wisconsin Thing...

Ladies Roller Derby was also a Big Thing at one time, as was that smack-down fake Wrestling. (Gorgeous George!) We snow-bound Wisconsinites take our ‘indoor sports’ SERIOUSLY! LOL!

Plus, there’s almost always a bar in the establishment, LOL!
