    What hath Dan Gurney wrought??

    I was just watching the noon news (in the USA),
    and they showed a picture from some baseball
    dressing room, where players were really
    celebrating over winning the baseball "World Series."

    They were all wearing goggles!!!
    Presumably to avoid the spraying champagne and
    flying corks from injuring eyes!
    My, what a waste that guy has caused!!

    And, for those who are not following my thoughts:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Gurney
    "In 1967, after winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans together
    with A. J. Foyt, he spontaneously sprayed champagne while
    celebrating on the podium."

    It looks like one can still buy a Dan Gurney For President
    Bumper Sticker, Car and Driver Vintage Sports Car Racing Decal
