The answer to the Riddle is – Kung Fu

Overheard at NFL Training Camps

  • “How the HELL do they expect me to support my wife AND my girlfriend on just $5 million a year?!”
  • “Be honest. Don’t these pants make my butt look HUGE?”
  • “Does this look infected to you?”
  • “Has anyone here ever SEEN a football?” (Giants and Jets camps only)
  • “Hey, I said XXXXL! Do I *LOOK* like I wear a XXXXXL?!?”
  • “Look, kid… no $100, no autograph. Now get lost, ya little leech!”
  • “Listen, rookie, there’s a big difference between a sportsman-like pat on the ass and copping a feel!”
  • “Idiot! Wilhelm Tiselius was Europe’s foremost biochemist! What the hell’d they teach in college?”
  • “Has anyone seen my spleen?”
  • “That’s chump change! *My* contract caused a $5.00 jump in ticket prices.”
  • “Fellas, be reasonable. Everybody can’t room with Irvin.”
  • “Quick! Pull my finger!”
  • “No, no, no. It’s RIGHT hand out palm down, THEN left hand out palm down…”
  • “Hey Rookie, go run an Irvin and meet us back at the hotel.”
  • “Dammit! I just finished paying for that knee!”

New NASCAR Rules

  • After each caution, the car will run the opposite way … caution – clockwise – caution – counter clockwise – caution – clockwise … etc.
  • Earnhardt, Jr., has to drive with a passenger … preferably a sumo wrestler … for extra weight.
  • Potty pit stops during a half time.
  • No more champagne in Victory Lane. A special Jeff Gordon whine will be used.
  • The ‘wider is better’ Pontiac will be narrowed since NASCAR has discovered the reason Pontiac widened the car was to accommodate Tony Stewart’s ego.
  • Races will be shortened to 7 laps so Rusty Wallace can finish on the lead lap on at least one time this season.
  • There will be a 15 minute half time break so Tony Stewart can get a snack … better make it a 30 minutes.
  • Cars with handicapped plates shall pit in specially marked blue pit stalls.
  • Depends Undergarments announced it will sponsor a car for the 2002 season. For the betterment of the sport, NASCAR forbids Dick Trickle to be named the owner.
  • To ward off an approaching sexual discrimination lawsuit, NASCAR mandates at least one member of each sexuality will be represented on each team … Male, Female and Jeff Gordon.
  • Top speed is out! The cars starting positions will depend on how pretty the car is. If it’s ugly they will vote on who gets provisionals, the ugliest car goes home.
  • The winner of a race will be determined by who picked the winner in NASCAR ROCKS … if no one picked a winner, straws will be drawn … the straw draw also holds true for second on back.
  • Because of Political Correctness, no discrimination against the handicapped will be permitted. This shall be called the Jeff Gordon Rule.

Never Up, Never In

A man and his wife were having an argument in bed. He finally jumped up and took a blanket to the couch.

The next day the wife feeling bad about what happened decided to buy her husband a gift, and since he was an avid golfer she went to the pro shop where he usually played golf.

She talked with the pro and he suggested a putter and he showed her one of his finest.

“How much is it?” she asked.

“One hundred and fifty dollars,” he replied.

She felt that was kind of expensive and told him so.

“But it comes with an inscription,” he said.

“What kind of inscription?” she asked.

“Whatever you wish,” he explained, “but one of the old golfers favorites is, NEVER UP, NEVER IN.'”

“OH, that will never do!” exclaimed the wife. “That’s what started the argument in the first place!”

Stupid Questions Asked at Our National Parks

These are questions that people actually asked of Park Rangers around the country, proving once again that there is no known limit to the depths
of human stupidity. Excerpted from Outside Magazine, May 1995, pp. 120-121.

The Miracle Shot

At a golf course, four men approached the sixteenth tee. The straight fairway ran along a road and bike path fenced off on the left.

The first golfer teed off and hooked the ball in that direction. But the ball went over the fence and bounced off the bike path onto the road, where it hit the tire of a moving bus and was knocked back on to the fairway.

As they all stood in silent amazement, one man finally asked him, “How on earth did you do that?”

He shrugged his shoulders and said, “You have to know the bus schedule.”

Mexican Bungee Jumping

Zeke and Zeb decided to build a Bungee Jumping tower in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to see if it would make them some money. After they got it set up, they noticed that the crowds gathered around, but nobody was buying tickets.

Zeke said to Zeb, “Maybe you should demonstrate it to them so they get the idea.” After Zeb was strapped on he jumped and fell almost to the ground before springing back. As he came up Zeke noticed that his clothes were torn and wondered what happened.

Zeb went down again and this time when he sprang back up Zeke noticed that he was bleeding. Zeke thought, “WOW! What is going on here?!?”

Zeb went down a third time and this time when he sprang back, Zeke noticed he had blood, contusions and cuts all over his body.

Zeke pulled Zeb in and said “Zeb, what happened?” Zeb, barely conscious, groaned, “I don’t know, but what’s a piñata?”

How I Used My New Box of Shells

  • Shot #1 — Missed target completely at 100 yards. Rifle needed scope adjusted.
  • Shot #2 — Hit target in lower right-hand corner–from 10 yards.
  • Shot #3 — Bull’s-eye–after getting rifle back from gunsmith who sighted it in.
  • Shot #4 — Accidentally pulled trigger while loading rifle in vehicle, will repair transmission when I get home.
  • Shot #5 — Fired into air to signal start of drive. Fined $200 by game warden for killing a turkey.
  • Shot #6 — The excitement of seeing my first deer caused me to fire before rifle was to my shoulder– I only had to replace left boot.
  • Shot #7 — Missed deer completely, not so sure about cow across the field.
  • Shot #8 — To clean mud from barrel after falling over cliff while being chased by farmer. Now I’m sure about cow.
  • Shot #9 — Slipped and fell while crossing stream. Buddy says I’ll have to replace his hunting cap and also pay for having his underwear washed.
  • Shot #10 — Forgot can opener. Opened a can of pork and beans. The few beans that were left tasted too much like gunpowder to eat them.
  • Shot #11 — Shot too low at deer, glanced off rock and wounded a chipmunk.
  • Shot #12 — Finished off wounded chipmunk.
  • Shot #13 — Checked scope again, hit big bucket hanging on pole. Hope people get electricity back soon.
  • Shot #14 — At deer moving through brush, I’d never heard some of the words that it used.
  • Shot #15 — To check scope again after being hit on the head with my own rifle.
  • Shot #16 — Knocked buck down but didn’t go to claim it when game warden tried to arrest a nearby hunter for killing a doe.
  • Shot #17 — Gun accidentally fired while dragging it under fence. Have to replace right boot now.
  • Shot #18 — Won a $1.00 bet from buddy who said I couldn’t hit a junked car on other hill. Hot radiators sure do make a lot of steam.
  • Shot #19 — Killed running buck with 3-inch spike at 625 yards. It takes skill to be a good hunter.
  • Shot #20 — Save till I get home and use it on a mouse in my pantry.

Golf Reminders

  1. Back straight, knees bent, feet shoulder width apart.
  2. Form a loose grip.
  3. Keep your head down.
  4. Avoid a quick back swing.
  5. Stay out of the water.
  6. Try not to hit anyone.
  7. If you are taking too long, please let others go ahead of you.
  8. Don’t stand directly in front of others.
  9. Quiet please… while others are preparing to go.
  10. Don’t take extra strokes.

Very good. Now flush the urinal, go outside, and tee off.

Golf Meditations

  • If you really want to get better at golf, go back and take it up at a much earlier age.
  • When you look up, causing an awful shot, you will always look down again at exactly the moment when you ought to start watching the ball if you ever want to see it again.
  • The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share his ideas about the golf swing.
  • A golf match is a test of your skill against your opponent’s luck.
  • Counting on your opponent to inform you when he breaks a rule is like expecting him to make fun of his own haircut.
  • The shortest distance between any two points on a golf course is a straight line that passes directly through the center of a very large tree.
  • There are two kinds of bounces: unfair bounces and bounces that are just the way you meant to play them.
  • You can hit a two-acre fairway 10 percent of the time and a two-inch branch 90 percent of the time.
  • Every time a golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make two triple bogeys to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe.
  • Hazards attract; fairways repel.
  • A ball you can see in the rough from 50 yards away is not yours.
  • If there is a ball in the fringe and a ball in the bunker, your ball is in the bunker. If both balls are in the bunker, yours is in the footprint.
  • Don’t buy a putter until you’ve had a chance to throw it.
