This is a little off topic,but... Back about 10 years ago, I worked at a high end retirement community in northern Delaware and was in my mid 50's. There was several very pretty girls (late 20's to mid 30's) that worked in food services that hung around together. One day I went to the kitchen to get a coffee and heard them talking about trap and skeet shooting. It peaked my interest so I just stood there to hear what they had to say when one of the girls said "Jack, you used to shoot at Dupont Fish and Game didn't you?" I confirmed that I did, mostly skeet: then she told the other girls that I shot mostly side by side shotguns. So I asked how she knew that. She told me who her grandfather was (a good friend of mine) and he got her a job on weekends at the club taking money for rounds of trap and skeet, selling shells, shot etc.; there were several employee's children that had jobs down there. She then told the girls that my nickname was "Elmer Fudd". I then blurted "Why did you give me that name?" it was the first I had heard of it. She said I was one of the only guy to show up regularly with a side by side shotgun and the only other individual they ever saw with one was Elmer on TV. That really made me laugh. At the time Remington was a wholly owned company by Dupont. All the ammo was Remington and the loaner guns were 1100's and 870's in every gauge.
