The year is 2016 and the United States has just elected the first woman, an Ohio State graduate, as President of the United States, Susan Buckeye.
A few days after the election the president-elect calls her father and says, "So, Dad, I assume you will be coming to my inauguration?"
"I don't think so. It's a 8 hour drive, your mother isn't as young as she used to be, and my arthritis is acting up again."
"Don't worry about it Dad, I'll send Air Force One to pick you up in Vandalia and take you home. And a limousine will pick you up at your door."
"I don't know. Everybody will be so fancy. What would your mother wear?"
"Oh Dad," replies Susan, "I'll make sure she has a wonderful gown custom-made by the best designer in Springfield."
"Honey," Dad complains, "you know I can't eat those rich foods that you and your friends like to eat."
The President-to-be responds, "Don't worry Dad. The entire affair is going to be handled by the best caterer in New York. I'll ensure your meals are salt free Dad. I really want you to come."
So Dad reluctantly agrees and on January 20, 2017, Susan Buckeye is being sworn in as President of the United States, with her Mom and Dad in the front row for her big moment.
Dad notices the Senator sitting next to him and leans to and whispers with undeniable pride, "You see that woman there with her hand on the Bible, becoming President of the United States?"
The Senator whispers back, "Yes I do."
Dad says proudly, "Her brother played football at Ohio State."
O - H - - I - O
This reminds me of the OSU alumni who died. He went to heaven, of course. While taking the grand tour, they walked into that great football stadium in the heavens.
Lo and behold ... there was Woody Hayes standing right there on the sidelines, baseball cap and in his white short-sleeved shirt.
The new Buckeye arrival said, "Wow, I cannot believe that I am seeing Woody right down there on the sidelines."
The heavenly guide said:
"Oh, that's not Woody. That's God, He just thinks he's Woody Hayes."
