I do not, in fact, own any stock in the company that produces the Pittsburgh Steelers’ “Terrible Towels.”
As Grandpa Steve points out, a company in my adopted home town of Baraboo has that contract. How, you ask, can a good Wisconsin company be producing something for the Pittsburgh Steelers when they are about to play the Green Bay Packers for Superbowl glory?
My answer: how can you even ask that? What are you, a commie or something? Pittsburgh money is just as green – Green and Gold, you might say – as anybody else’s.
And besides, it’s probably just that nobody in Pennsylvania knows how to make a towel.
I might also point out that, because we Barabooians are compassionate, friendly people, MacArthur Towels makes those Terrible Towels with extra absorption capacity, perfect for wiping away the bitter, bitter tears of defeat.

Barabooians? Were they in Episode Three: Revenge of the Steelers? Or was it Episode Four: A No Hope?
Making Pennsylvanians pay through the nose for Wisconsin exports? Sounds good to me.
All the profits from the towels go to a children’s school for autistic kids that Myron Cope established when the towels became popular.
And the McArthurs hire many disabled workers to produce them as well.
