It's a few years since I could attend live and I tend to forget the funny cracks, my own as well as others'.
One of mine I remember from not too long ago was the week after Elliott made that crack about our 'tragic history.' We were, of course, playing Carlton. I was sitting on the Yarra side of the Dome, mainly amidst Carlton supporters and well away from our members. We gave them an absolute thumping and, in the last quarter, the chant went up 'Elliott's a w***er.' A middle aged female Carlton supporter behind me yelled out in a snooty voice: 'Typical. Just what I'd expect from Bulldog supporters.' Feigning genuine surprise, I yelled back 'They're not Bulldog supporters. They're Carlton supporters.'
To their credit, most of the Carlton supporters cracked up. Ugly Jack wasn't all that popular with his own even then.
