Who in the modern world has not heard about the Battle of ‘Wilmington Pool’ changing the future of the great state of Delaware where Mr. Biden was a life guard at the Wilmington aquatic club pool?

Legend has it that this infamous confrontation took place over pomade, a mis-identification (thinking Corn Pop was Ester Williams) on the 3 meter diving board.

As Joe has been quoted “Corn Pop was a bad dude”. He was a straight-razor toting bad boy, but chain-wheeling Joe stood up to him.

Have you ever asked yourself who ‘Corn Pop’ took control from?

My grandfather on my mother’s side was that pool boss. His name was Albert, but he went by the gang moniker of ‘Sugar Smack’. Confront him and you’ll see that the ‘smack’ part of his name comes from his mahogany nunchucks.

I am told that he got the name because the life guard of the pool (not sure if it was Joe at this point) yelled that grampa was leaving too many feathers in the pool. Corn pop stood up to take over and raised his razor. They clashed, for what seemed like hours.

Sugar Smack lost his grip, the ‘chucks went in the pool and his bursitis flared.

He yielded and never showed up there again.
