Violation of First Amendment Rights by the Greedy Academic Controllers
This is from a description of an August 20, 2001 book signing at the University of Washington, Bothell Bookstore. Emphasis mine.
Monday 8/20
Terry Bradshaw
Terry Bradshaw, four-time Superbowl-winning quarterback and Emmy-award winning broadcaster, talks about and signs his memoir It's Only A Game. Number one overall pick of the 1970 NFL draft, quarterback for Pittsburgh Steelers, and retired in 1984, Terry Bradshaw has now "translated his extensive knowledge and passion for the game" into being a sports commentator for CBS Sports and the network's NFL Today. He's also a horse breeder, gospel singer (!), actor, and motivational speaker (!). He will sign the books with his name only. Due to time constraints, he cannot sign other items such as toothbrushes or dildos. However, he will pose for photos if fans bring their own cameras. Here are two sentences from his new book: "My father met my mother through her father, because the two men welded side by side in a Panama City, Florida, shipyard. So I had welding in my genes." University Bookstore, 7 pm, free.
My question - why would anyone WANT to have Terry sign a toothbrush or a dildo? I would think that they would want him to sign another object - like...um...a FOOTBALL or sumfin.
Although I can picture someone asking John Madden to sign a train schedule.
