  1. In the coverage of today's stage, Phil Liggett stated, "You don't win a stage without Hugh Jefferts
    in the Tour de France".

    Okay, who's Hugh Jefferts?

    Answer: Say the sentence out loud until you get it.

  2. A little-known Welsh cyclist from the 1950s whose efforts to crank the pedals were huge.

    Reminds me of the Masters race I was at this past weekend. Everywhere I looked, there was Hugh Jass.
    He won the race too, 'cause there's no getting around Hugh Jass, they say.

    Strange race in other ways too. There was a woman in the race. She was REALLY old, must of been in
    her seventies. She was so wrinkled, even her lycra had stretch marks. Apparently going senile too.
    As I was walking past her after the race, she spit out some tobacco juice, smiled at me through
    crooked, yellowing teeth and said, "Phil McCracken!!!"

    "No," I said, "you've got the wrong guy."

    This seemed to anger her, but she was persistent. "Aw, C'mon!" She said. "Phil McCracken!"

    I didn't know what to say, so I just shook my head and walked away. Later I learned the proper way
    to handle it. I saw the old lady walk up to Hugh Jass and say "Phil McCracken!!!". Hugh just smiled,
    took the old lady by the arm, and walked away with her. Awful sweet of Hugh to pretend to be Phil
    and walk an old woman home. What class!

    Don't forget the other lost cousin, Hugh Jass who tested the pads in the shorts but was never much
    of a rider.

    ...sorry, that's a different punchline.

    Musta been looking for one of her domestiques.
