I worked for a man who said his father or grandfather (?) gave someone the FIX money from his bathtub at the Gibson Hotel in Cincy>>>>have NO idea if it’s true.

I just love Free Republic for helping to bubble up issues like this; as long as we stick to the topic and not get foiled by those who want to have a ball with puns.

Wouldn’t surprise me.

[SunkenCiv]

Looks like it was tied twice.

[SunkenCiv]

[punster]

However, I did hear there was an old bat involved.

Was it the Hildabeast?

Only one way to find out. Conduct a scientific ex-spearmint.

Too late on that one ;>)
