We’ve made our share of dumb moves over the years, but nothing as absent-minded as this. Unless, of course, you count that time we passed around our Super Bowls rings at a party, but that’s beside the point. Let’s stick to the subject at hand which is Rev. Walter Hermanns’ good friend who did him the favor of shredding one of his NFC championship game tickets. Yea, you heard us right.
Hermanns, who has multiple sclerosis and uses a wheelchair, was getting some help from a friend last Friday when he asked him to take care of a stack of papers left in a bin for shredding.
When his friend got to four Green Bay Packers tickets bundled together with a rubber band, he took off the band, put one in the shredder and then stopped short.
“Something rang a bell and he said, ‘Are you sure you want to shred these?”‘ Hermanns said.
Too late. The ticket was in shreds.
They emptied the shredder, collected pieces of the ticket and put them in a plastic bag. A call to the Packers’ ticket office remedied the situation, but not without some explaining.
“It almost sounded like they had heard crazy stories like this before,” Hermanns said.
Luckily, everything worked out because he purchased the tickets with a credit card through a special lottery for handicapped seating and still had the other three tickets remaining, so he’ll be freezing his ass off at Lambeau just like everyone else on Sunday. We’re just relieved that they weren’t this guy’s tickets.
