And since golf has made the news today let me remind the world of Mr Twain’s verdict on it …
Golf is a good walk spoiled.
Perhaps the best things to come out of the stupid game are the jokes …
A man and his secretary decide to have an affair, so they rent a hotel and go have strenuous sex all afternoon. He’s not used to the pace, so he falls asleep afterwards and doesn’t wake up until about 8:30 at night.
They have sex again, and then the man realizes it’s time to go home. He says to his secretary, “Take my shoes outside while I get dressed and drag them through the grass and mud.” Puzzled, the secretary complies.
When the man gets home about 9:30pm his wife confronts him and asks where he’s been. The man says, “I cannot lie to you, I have spent the day making love to my secretary, fell asleep, just woke up and came right home.” The woman looks down at his shoes and says, “You lying SOB, you’ve been out playing golf again!”
You can find an assortment at robinsweb, which is where I pinched that one. That particular joke reminds me of another Mark Twain aphorism …
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did.
