Tiger Williams Quote
Talking about a plane trip he took, sharing the row of 3 seats with Dave Schultz. “He was in the window seat and I was in the aisle, so no one was between us. I had taken off my cowboy boots and set them on the vacant seat between us. The Hammer was chewing a wad of tobacco and calmly would lean over and spit into my boots. After a couple of times, I was getting pretty heated. Then he leaned over to me and said, ‘Tiger, get me a Pepsi and a glass of ice.’ So I got up and brought him back his drink and he downed it quickly. Afterwards we were getting our luggage, and I went up to Hammer and said, ‘You know we should stop this childish behavior between us.’ He asked what did I mean. I said. ‘While with you spitting in my boots and me pissing in your drink, it ain’t getting us nowhere.’ Needless to say, Schultz was not happy.”
