Willie Pep - How Was He Brilliant?

Bummy, if you thought I was intending to undermine Pep, you have indeed misread me in every conceivable way possible. I was kidding with Pete a little bit about his predilection for Italian fighters. I did not mean it in either an undermining or even half serious way toward Pep, nor my buddy Pete. Certainly, your scorn shouldn't be necessary for my joking with someone I have a rapport with. But since I enjoy you as a poster, I do not mind your intention on schooling me, under the misconception you had about my comment.

 

See above post, please, John.

 

No problem, understood:good

 

You know when I have a peeled orange ready to eat, Pete, there's quite a bit of the white pith still attached, but I don't look at the orange-colored part and say it's my orange but the white pith is not really my orange. The pith is just more orange to me, brother. Ya dig what I'm saying? Then again, I'm not an orange. Okay, now I've even lost track of what I'm saying. But there was a relevant point in there somewhere.
