You are not going to believe this one. I’m not sure if we here believe it. You all remember the I Know Eddie Ecker bumper stickers of East Hampton right? The story was that the Wainscott Police Captain knows so many people that a lot of drivers would try to get out of tickets by saying “I know Eddie Ecker”
Well, some freinds of his in East Hampton made a goof by printing a bunch of bumper stickers that say “I Know Eddie Ecker” which were all the rage last year.
Okay, so now you have the background. Check out this e-mail that we just recieved. You will fall on the floor. Looks like even the Chinese are using Eddie’s name to get out of a ticket!
Hi Hamptons,
This photo was taken by me on a recent trip to China. I noticed the bumper sticker and had to wonder, “Who is Eddie Ecker?” So, I snapped the shot and just remembered to get on the internet and solve the mystery. So, to Eddie Ecker: the rickshaw drivers in the Beijing houtongs know the secret to road violation leniency! Best to you all.
