6-2 from the bar

In Response To: Rolls and names (Bill Riles)

Traditionally 'Joe Schwartz' on the east coast. In the early '80s in the Granite State club there was a rule that whenever you rolled a Joe Schwartz (not any 6-2, but specifically 6-2 from the bar) during the weekly tournament you had to toss a dime into the Joe Schwartz jar. The accumulated Joe Schwartz money would fund the club's summer barbecue & party.

Marty Storer claims to have met the actual Joe Schwartz, who was from New Jersey, and on request might or might not be willing to do his impression of the man himself saying the words "six-two from the bar."
