What a bunch of Athols

Cable network apologizes for mocking Athol's name in ads.

Other Athols:

Athol Fugard, South African playwright.
Athol Dickson, author.
Athol Foden, successful product manager.
Athol Abrahams, distinguished professor. Department of Geography, University at Buffalo.
Athol family Web site.
Athol Castle.
Athol, Idaho.

I wonder what they think of this all in Mashpee?

Hello, Jerry?

This is Dick Hertz from Holden.

the old ones

are always the best ones....

Boston Tech, 1974. Female substitute teacher led
as lamb to the slaughter. Attendance sheet
indicates one extra pupil, Mike Hunt.

"Mike Hunt! I'm looking for Mike Hunt..."

Another old joke

It was said of Governor Endicott Everett Peabody that three towns in Massachusetts were named after him: Everett, Peabody, and Athol.

The cleaner version

Everett, Peabody and Marblehead.

Did he attend Dummer

Did he attend Dummer Academy?

I'm not proud...

Prank call to any pre-TobaccoNazi drugstore:

"Hello. Do you have Prince Arthur in a can?"

Or to the local neighborhood busy-body:

"Hello. Is your refrigerator running?"

Ah, for the days before caller ID!

Mashpee?

As a lifelong resident of Mashpee... huh? I don't get the last line.

No one remembers Hasty Pudding/Harvard Lampoon "Falk in Athol"?

No one remembers the Harvard prank "documentary" with Peter Falk, "Falk in Athol"?
