My Don Sutton (sort of) story

My buddy Chris Beckham and I were at an event at Turner Field 3-4 years ago and we were chatting with Joe Simpson, the Braves broadcaster.
Simpson was telling a story but was cut off rudely by a 50-year-oldish man who shoved a baseball and pen in Joe's face and asked for his autograph.
Joe politely signed. As he walked away the guy looked back and said, "Thanks, Don!"
Simpson shook his head and replied contemptuously, "Numbnu-s!"
Beckham and I had to be hospitalized with broken ribs from laughing so hard.
I love Joe Simpson and "numbnu-s is firmly planted in my lexicon.
