9. In the "It Occurred Onstage Category" what Dave Mordal story is most often retold by you or others?

At a show in International Falls, Minnesota, a group of women gave the feature act such a hard time that he never was able to finish one bit. After he was done, they introduced me, I went up, called the women cunts, and then left the stage. The problem was, the feature act later told the booker that the women weren't being that bad. So what's the lesson? Never, never stick up for the feature act, they'll screw you every time.
