1998jun17. The Detroit Red Wings just won their second Stanley Cup, so everyone is outside tooting their horns and yelling and going “whoop! whoop!” A lot of these jubliant fans are carrying large brooms, used to indicate a “sweep.” Other people wrapped large garbage cans in aluminum foil to represent the actual Stanley Cup in question. So as I was driving through crowds of people yelling and whooping and hoisting their brooms and cans aloft, I pretended I was just crowned “Janitor of the Year.”
