Nathan Hale - Ray High School in Moodus. Go Noises... (Yes, the village of Moodus is Native American for Place of bad noises. So the high school teams are called The Noises...). East Haddam, where Moodus is located, was where Nathan Hale taught.

I first heard it in 1975.

Somehow I never ran across it until maybe 12 or 15 years back. Too bad, because I like old dumb jokes. Better late than never, I suppose.

Maybe Nathan Hale was a friend of your ancestors...
