What is your "O-H" "I-O" anecdote?

Recruit
I want to hear from everyone about a surprising time when you shouted the legendary "O-H" and getting the "I-O" response while in another city, state, or even country.

While on my honeymoon in Bavaria country, we were walking the cobblestone streets of M?nich with a friends that had an internship with Siemens two years ago in Columbus and he already downed a couple of steins. While near the famous, but can never recall the name of it, town square, he starts his "O-H" chant. Of course we respond, but low and behold -- a couple that just graduated from OSU responded!

So of course we talk in our perfect American accent English talking about how in the world Tressel got fired.

Talk about a small world!

:oh:
 
About 10 years ago my husband and I were in a little Italian restaurant in Las Vegas and an old Italian man was walking around playing songs as they were requested. He came to our table so on a whim I requested the Ohio State fight song never thinking he would know it. But he played it and when he was finished someone from another table yelled O-H so I yelled out I-O. Score two tables for tOSU! Then he moved to the table behind us and that table requested Hail to the Victors. What a small world.....with all the restaurants in Vegas they could have gone to, we had to have skunkbears eating right next to us!

I made a bet in high school that I could yell "O-H" absolutely anywhere and get an "I-O"... my friend first called me out in the international terminal of Dulles Airport in DC at 3 am... I got 3 responses... he asked for double or nothing when we were in an open-air taxi on St. Thomas, Virgin Islands... I got an "I-O" from a passenger in a cab going he opposite direction... easiest 50 bucks I ever made

Battista's Hole in the Wall?

My dad told me that old accordian player 'knows every song' you could request - including Across the Field. :biggrin:

I frequently go to "Six Strings Concerts" here in Cbus. Small venue folk/rock kind of stuff. Mostly liberals from New England.

Several of the performers have come on stage and said something like "I was told I should try this." Then they raise their arms and go "O-H".

The resounding "I-O" they get back just blows them away.

Hey - and if you try to pronounce my screen name it kind of sounds like
"O-H".

I just noticed that.

It is kind of hard to notice that with your "bearded" head up your ass. So don't blame yourself. I thought you were a scientist and had some secret concoction that involved OH(8)CH. Who knew?

You didn't know?
A sexual act that involves the trinity orafices of a female's body (the mouth, the vagina, and the anus). Three men simultaneously penetrate the three orafices while holding hands and saying, "Oh God, Oh God" until they 'reach the promiseland'. It is named after Toledo because Toledo is the land god forgot.
Lauren was at Arnie's Bar&Grille when she was propositioned by three members of the boy band Booze Money to be the Mary Magdalen of their Holy Toledo. To which she responded, "I'd be down but I have lock jaw, a UTI, and I just ate some Tony Packo's."

Was wearing an Ohio State shirt at Camden Yards once (for a Sox game) and got an O-H from a guy....caught me off guard, but replied with an I-O lol.

Noticed a family wearing some Ohio State gear last time I was at Disney & shouted O-H to them & they quickly replied with I-O. They seemed pleasantly surprised
