When I rang up the sale I asked for his drivers license and said it would take a minute while I got an approval from the credit card company. I was concerned as the name on the credit card didn't match that on the credit card. He started to laugh and answered it was a company credit card. He then asked "what is your favorite sport" and I answered Tennis.
Then as I always do I spelled both the first and last name on the card into the phone. Everybody started laughing as I spelled out B o o m e r E s i a s o n. He said thank you as he gave me the delivery instructions and said "You really should check out Monday Night football." He left and I asked a co-worker ok what's the joke.

We lived across the street from Boomer while he was the Quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals. He was a very nice guy and good neighbor.
By the way, most of the Cincinnati Sports figures lived in Northern Kentucky.....they knew what was the best side of the Ohio River! ( said that to get Gracie's attention!)
