(This one is currently circulating in Bloomington:) It seems that Bobby Knight descided he needed a new suit of Plaid cloth, and proceeded to shop about Bloomington to find one. As he soon found, his desired style of plaid was no longer made into fine suits which meant he must find the cloth and then seek a tailor. While browsing at JoAnne's Fabrics he found the perfect plaid cloth. The fabric store lady, who waited on him, informed Bobby this was their last bolt of this particular plaid cloth but surely there was enough to make his suit. Bobby was estatic and sought to locate a tailor. The first tailor he visited looked at the cloth and measured Bobby; then told him the cloth was only enough to make a pair of trousers and maybe a vest. Bobby was unhappy with this opinion and sought another tailor in Indianapolis. This tailor informed him that a pair of trousers and maybe a coat could be made from the cloth. Bobby was indeed very unhappy since he wanted a full suit. Bobby was finally refered to a friendly tailor in Lafayette who looked carefully at the bolt of cloth and measured Bobby Knight; then smiled proudly and proclaimed there was no problem. The cloth was enough to make 2 pair of trousers, a coat and a vest. Bobby was very happy but perplexed. "Just how can you make me a full suit when other tailors could not?" asked Bobby. "It's very easy." replied the tailor "You are not as big a man here as in some places." {ed This is one of those jokes that gets applied to a lot of people.} -- Frank reid@gold.bacs.indiana.edu
