chained_bear commented on the word "Ham Grease" Jimmie O'Connor
"'Ham Grease' Jimmie O'Connor, another veteran, reported the diggings were so poor they would not support one dance hall."
--Lael Morgan, Good Time Girls of the Alaska-Yukon Gold Rush (Fairbanks, Alaska and Seattle: Epicenter Press, 1998), p. 182
It could have been the hour when I encountered this, but I could not stop laughing. It probably would be better not to find out what activity or characteristic might have given a man the nickname of "Ham Grease."
My companion at the time wondered if there were others, too, necessitating the man's full name being given--as in not just "Wait, do you mean Bear Grease Jimmie?" but also "Oh, Ham Grease Jimmie O'Connor..." which resulted in another long fit of giggles.
