Another jocks vs musicians tale... back in the 70's at a popular NYC
bar a couple of musicians were chatting up two gorgeous models over
drinks when a handsome athlete sat down at the next table and turned
on the charm. Within minutes both girls left with him. The jock was
Broadway Joe Namath and the two musicians who lost out were a couple
of guys named Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

  the celery and scallions into thin diagonal slices. Heat the oil
  in a skillet. Add the vegetables and stir-fry over high heat 1 to
  2 minutes. Add the corn cobs and snow peas and cook 2 minutes
