Hey, I can't find "Hail the size of canned hams."   David Letterman once 
got reprimanded for reporting that on an Indianapolis news station while he 
was the meteorologist there.  That is the inspiration of all of his canned 
ham jokes today.

Letterman got a chile-head card awarded once, from the brothers that used 
to be here, can't think of their name.   He was one number off form my 
son.  This was before Big Tom.
