People named Victor must be very successful historians.

Because history is always written by the Victor.

Multiple people on my team complained that a coworker, Victor, was in fact getting credit for work that they did.

I told them that it was a tough situation but sadly my hands were tied. To the Victor go the spoils.

If you want your son to be influential when he grows up, name him Vic

Because history is written by the Victors.

Hail in Michigan

I recently went with a bunch of friends to see a hockey game at the University of Michigan. If you don't know, everyone who goes to that school is obsessed with their fight song which is titled "Hail to the Victors".

Anyway, we get outside the arena and then a torrential downpour starts. Our group runs underneath a bus stop awning thing to wait out the storm.

Then loud cracks start to be heard. Frozen rain has started to fall everywhere.

We look around at each other.

"Hey guys..." I say.

Everyone tenses up. I see the disappointment on their faces. They know what is about to come out of my mouth.

"Hail to the Victors!"
