Scratch 'Harry Baals'

off list of names for government center


	Quote: FORT WAYNE, Ind. — A former Indiana mayor who won four terms in the 1930s and 1950s is proving less popular with modern-day city leaders, who say they probably won't name a new government center for him because of the jokes his moniker could inspire. Harry Baals is the runaway favorite in online voting to name the new building in Fort Wayne, about 120 miles northeast of Indianapolis. But Deputy Mayor Beth Malloy said that probably won't be enough to put the name of the city's longest-tenured mayor on the center. The issue is pronunciation. The former mayor pronounced his last name "balls." His descendants have since changed it to "bales."

My Env. Sci. teacher senior year was from Indiana.

I still have a standing challenge with him, that if I see him outside of school we are fighting.

Fuck that guy.
