Riffing on Bhatt's "What Is Worth Knowing?"

It is worth knowing that Mr Wrestling's real name
was Don Felder, and he was not an Eagle.
That Jimmy the Greek was actually Sicillian
and Andre the Giant was hydrocephalic at birth.
That drool from certain dreams tends to cause
more dreams when ingested later. That
if Jesus lived today he'd be shot up by the
ATF and have his person ripped into bagged cheese,
not to mention they would plant a dime on him.
That Hank Williams once played a gig
in the world's smallest town.
The town was mine, and my grandfather
was there, the only man in attendance.
The women wanted him for communion.
That Paris, KY is not the same as Paris, FR,
but someone built a little Eiffel erected in the town square.
That you can climb this tower and vomit
from the peak without going to jail. That every time
my friends and I play trivia we lose
to a bunch of townies who work at the paper mill.
That there must be something written on that
paper.
