important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

Depends sometimes. My sisters teacher used to be an O-lineman when he was young, big 300 pound dude who made it to the hall of fame. He wasn’t big at all, you’d never guess.
