Sporting Observations

 1.  The sport of choice for the urban poor is BASKETBALL.

 2.  The sport of choice for maintenance level employees is BOWLING.

 3.  The sport of choice for front-line workers is FOOTBALL.

4.  The sport of choice for supervisors is BASEBALL.

5.  The sport of choice for middle management is TENNIS. 

6.  The sport of choice for corporate executives and officers is
 GOLF. 

 The amazing fact is, the higher you go in the corporate structure,the smaller your balls become. There must be a boat load of people in Washington playing marbles.

...... to have obtained a divorce and dazzled by the skill and virtuosity of her lawyer, not to mention his healthy income and good looks. In fact, she realized, she had fallen head over heals in love with him, even though he was a married man. "Oh, Sam," she sobbed at the conclusion of the trial, "isn't there some way we can be together, the way we were meant to be?" Taking her by the shoulders, Sam proceeded to scold her, "Snatched drinks in grimy bars on the edge of town, lying on the phone, hurried meetings in sordid motels rooms - is that really what you want for us?" "No, no..." she sobbed, heartsick. "Oh," said the lawyer. "Well, it was just a suggestion."

Home Depot...............

Charlie was installing a new door and found that one of the hinges was missing.

He asked his wife Mary if she would go to Home Depot and pick up a hinge.

Mary agreed to go. While she was waiting for the manager to finish serving a customer, her eye caught a beautiful bathroom faucet.

When the manager was finished, Mary asked him, "How much is that faucet?”

The manager replied, "That's a gold plated faucet, and the price is $500.00.

Mary exclaimed, "My goodness, that is an expensive faucet -- certainly out of my price range.."

She then proceeded to describe the hinge that Charlie had sent her to buy.

The manager said that he had them in stock and went into the storeroom to get one.

From the storeroom the manager yelled: "Ma'am, you wanna screw for the hinge?"

Mary shouted back, "No, but I will for the faucet."

This is why you can't send a woman to Home Depot...

It was a hot Saturday

It was a hot Saturday evening in the
summer of 1962
and Fred had a date with Peggy Sue.

He arrived at her house and
rang the bell.
"Oh, come on in!",
Peggy Sue's mother said as she welcomed Fred in.
"So, what are you and
Peggy planning to do tonight?", she asked.
"Oh, probably catch a
movie, and then maybe grab a bite to eat at the malt shop, maybe take a
walk on the beach..."
"Peggy likes to screw, you
know," Mom informed him.
"Is that so?", asked
Fred, incredulous.
"Yes," said the
mother. "As a matter of fact, she'd screw
all night if we let her!"
"Well, thanks for the
tip," Fred said as he began thinking about alternate plans for the
evening.
"Have fun, kids," the
mother said as they left.
Half an hour later, a
completely disheveled Peggy Sue burst into the house and slammed the front
door
behind her.
"The TWIST, Mom!" she angrily yelled at her
mother.
"THE DAMN DANCE IS CALLED
THE TWIST!!

AS I AGE, I REALIZE THAT

I'm new - basically a reply of types and hoping I'm not messing up a protocol.
I've replied to each line of the original post. Mine should be indented. But, they weren't.

I talk to myself, because sometimes I need expert advice.
This is when I’m in the greatest danger of failing, though I fail to ask for the right advice.
I don't need anger management. I need people to stop pissing me off.
..This I totally agree with, but it bothers that people keep doing this. The below is not true. Or not.
My people skills are just fine. It's my tolerance of idiots that needs work.
It’s my idiot skills that need work. My people work needs idiots. I’m worried about the beer below.
The biggest lie I tell myself is "I don't need to write that down, I'll remember it."
..This is one I keep forgetting to remember to write down to remember.
When I was a child I thought nap time was punishment. Now it's like a mini vacation.
..I can’t remember when I was a child. Maybe I should write it down. Later, I’ll remember to do it.
The day the world runs out of wine is just too terrible to think about.
..Actually, it’s the beer that has me concerned. When it happens, well, I’ll be napping. Beer does that.
Even duct tape can't fix stupid, but it can muffle the sound!
..Actually, it can. Send $19.95 for instructions. Helps seal the body bag too.
Wouldn't it be great if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten minutes; come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller.
..People can’t take the heat. This also requires a dry sense of humor. Mileage may vary.
If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would've put them on my knees.
..This is one I don’t want to touch. Bolts of lightning and burning politicians come to mind.
When the kids text me "plz" which is shorter than please. I text back "no" which is shorter than "yes".
..End game will be “y” which is shorter than “no”. Then “n” which comes first in the alphabet.
At my age "Getting lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what I came in there for.
..At my age it is finding the door again to get back out. Unless it is the toilet. Like a rat in a maze.

What does your parent do?

A grade school teacher was asking students what their parents did for a living.
"Tim, you be first," she said. "What does your mother do all day?"
Tim stood up and proudly said, "She's a doctor."
"That's wonderful. How about you, Amie?"
Amie shyly stood up, scuffed her feet and said, "My father is a mailman."
"Thank you, Amie," said the teacher. "What about your father, Billy?"
Billy proudly stood up and announced, "My daddy plays piano in a whorehouse."
The teacher was aghast and promptly changed the subject to geography.
Later that day she went to Billy's house and rang the bell. Billy's father answered the door. The teacher explained what his son had said and demanded an explanation.
Billy's father replied, "Well, I'm really an attorney. But how do you explain a thing like that to a seven-year-old child?"

Old Geezers !!!

An old geezer became very bored in retirement and decided to open a medical clinic.
He put a sign up outside that said:
"Dr. Geezer's clinic. Get your treatment for $500, if not cured, get back $1,000."
Doctor "Young," who was positive that this old geezer didn’t know beans about medicine,
thought this would be a great opportunity to get $1,000.
So he went to Dr. Geezer's clinic.
This is what transpired:
Dr. Young: "Dr. Geezer, I have lost all taste in my mouth. Can you please help me ??"
Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in Dr. Young's mouth."
Dr. Young: Aaagh !! -- "That's Gasoline!"
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your taste back. That will be $500."
Dr. Young gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days figuring to recover his money.
Dr. Young: "I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything."
Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."
Dr. Young: "Oh, no you don't, box 22 is Gasoline!"
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be $500."
Dr. Young (after having lost $1000) leaves angrily and comes back after several more days.
Dr. Young: "My eyesight has become weak, I can hardly see anything!!!!
Dr. Geezer: "Well, I don't have any medicine for that so, “Here’s your $1000 back."
(but hands him a $10 bill)
Dr. Young: "But this is only $10!"
Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $500."

Moral of story, Just because you're "Young” doesn’t mean that you can outsmart an "Old Geezer”.

Police stop an old man

A police officer pulls over this guy who had been weaving in and out of the lanes. He goes up to the guy's window and says
"Sir, I need you to blow into this breathalyzer tube."
The man says, "Sorry officer I can't do that. I am an asthmatic. If I do that I'll have a really bad asthma attack."
"Okay, fine. I need you to come down to the station to give a blood sample."
"I can't do that either. I am a hemophiliac. If I do that, I'll bleed to death."
"Well, then we need a urine sample."
"I'm sorry officer I can't do that either. I am also a diabetic. If I do that I'll get really low blood sugar."
"Alright then I need you to come out here and walk this white line."
"I can't do that, officer."
"Why not?"
"Because I'm too drunk to do that."

It's All About The Timing

My wife was standing in the kitchen preparing our usual eggs, bacon, and toast for breakfast and wearing only the t-shirt that she normally sleeps in. As I walked in, almost awake, she turned to me and said in a hurried tone, “You’ve got to make love to me this very moment!”

My eyes opened wide as I thought, “either I’m still dreaming or this is going to be a great day!” Not being one to argue with my wife about morning sex, I embraced her and gave it my all, right there on the kitchen counter.

Afterward she said, “Thanks,” straightened her shirt and returned to the stove and took the eggs out of the pan.

Happy, but a little puzzled, I asked, “What was that all about?”

She set my plate on the table and said matter-of-factly, “Oh, the egg timer is broken.”

Why did the artist become an Impressionist? He did it for the Monet.
