Yay, Brinjal! For an extra point who was the US President and what was the Brown Bomber's suubsequent job? Mar 15 05, 6:06 PM

Brinjal

He tried quiz shows wrestling then became a greeter at Caesars Palace. He gave away most of his earnings and made large contributions to the armed forces charities and benevolent funds also gave away free tickets to service men all of which he was taxed on. He is buried in Arlington cemetary courtesy of Ronald Reagan. Im not sure if it was Reagan who cancelled his tax debt tho. Im sure it wasnt Roosevelt Mar 16 05, 2:36 AM

Yay again, as it was the Las Vegas job as greeter that I had in mind. It was JFK who cancelled his debt though. Mar 16 05, 7:41 PM
