Johnny Walker nickname- Pope John XXIII ITALY
A pun on a whisky brand name; Pope John XXIII (born 1881, ascended 1958, died 1963) earned this nickname from his habit of sneaking out of the Vatican and walking the streets of Rome. - When asked, one of his strong arms said he was in Saint Peter’s Square at the Vatican, because “Johnny Walker is dying.” — Emmett Grogan, Ringolevio, p. 156, 1972
- Lt General Walton H. Walker (1889–1950) US
Walker served with great distinction in World War I, World War 2, and Korea; he was killed in a car accident in Korea. - They called him “Johnny Walker” and he was a tough little bulldog of a man, a protege of Patton’s, and he died in a jeep accident, just as Patton did, because he couldn’t stand the dust and always made his driver go too goddamned fast. — Walter J. Sheldon, Gold Bait, p. 31, 1973
