Re: can o' corn
I heard basically the same story, Rufus, with the added detail that the grocer would use his apron to catch the can and thus couldn't miss.
The narrators in some of the old highlight films use the term "shoot a cripple," as in, "Musial shoots a cripple for a double to right center." I believe that the term originated with something Ty Cobb said.
Now the narrator would be instructed to say, "Shoots a differently abled."
