Those are great! Actually, my family is from the U.P. (sorry, I mean "da U.P.") but many of those facts still apply.

Here are my Packer bona fides: My great grandfather moved to da UP from Appleton, WI; My dad had me baptized the day of Super Bowl I (Packers over the Chiefs); and he first brought me to Lambeau at Age 2. Despite never living in Wisconsin, I was genetically engineered to be a Packer Backer. ;-)

LOL! Good on your dad!

A man goes to the Minnesota Vikings ticket office and inquires about purchasing playoff tickets. The ticket teller replies that there aren’t any tickets for sale because the Vikings did not make the playoffs.

The following day the same man goes to the Minnesota Vikings ticket office and inquires about purchasing Vikings playoff tickets. The ticket teller politely replies that there aren’t any tickets for sale because the Vikings did not make the playoffs.

This goes on for an entire week. The man goes to the Vikings ticket office inquiring about playoff tickets and the teller says none are for sale because the Vikings did not make the playoffs.

Another week of this goes by and the man still is asking the ticket teller about Vikings playoff tickets. Finally the ticket teller says in a loud voice, “I’VE TOLD YOU FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS THERE ARE NO TICKETS AVAILABLE BECAUSE THE VIKINGS DID NOT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS!!!”

Smirking, the man replied, “I know. I drive all the way from Green Bay just to hear you say that!”

I live just around the corner from Lambeau Field here. It’s very cold. Lots of cars with Packers flags on them.
