Polywater is located in Stillwater, MN near the banks of the beautiful St. Croix River--the dividing line between Minnesota and Wisconsin. With this near proximity, many Polywater employees are actual "Cheeseheads." Some are even Green Bay Packer fans. Inevitably, whenever the Vikings/Packers border battle heats up, small skirmishes rage in the office as well. With ex-Packer, Hall-of-Fame-bound Brett Favre now shredding cheese as a Viking, trash talk has reached epic proportions. That Favre can slice defensive secondaries and melt Packers into the turf as easily as spreading Cheez Whiz on a cracker causes some employees to lose their curds. This time, though, Packer-backer Jerry Hanson, APC's "IT Guy," may have bitten off more limburger than he can chew. As shown in this short YouTube video, Jerry was so confident in a Green Bay victory last Sunday, he agreed to launder Brett's purple jock strap if the Vikings won. At some point Jerry decided it would be less embarrassing--or perhaps less work--to simply wear it on his head instead. He removed his cheddar wedge this week long enough to don said jock strap and honorably satisfy his obligation. Attempts to get him to wear it over his face (for swine flu protection, of course) were unsuccessful. It was a Favrelous day for all Vikings fans, the memory of which will surely grate on 'Sconians for some time. The woes of prehensile Packer fans were best summarized by the despondent cheese-eater seen holding up a hand-made sign at Lambeau Field accusing Brett of being ... wait for it ... a "Trader!" |
