Not quite grasping the sanctity of
"Monday Night
Football," I plunked myself next to my new
husband one Monday night to chat.
He was distracted by the action on TV, and
after being shushed a few times, I gave him
a "look."
Immediately contrite, he picked up the remote.
"I'm sorry, honey," he apologized, "I'm being rude.
You go ahead and talk--I'll just turn up the volume."

with a warm handshake and a smile, gave him
a broom and said, "Your first job will be to sweep
out the store."

manager. "Here, give me the broom and I will
show you how to use it!"

A man goes to the confessional and says, "Forgive me Father, for I
have sinned."
"What is your sin, my child?" The Priest asks.
"Well," the man starts, "I used the 'F'-word today and I feel so
terrible."
"Why don't you tell me what happened. What made you use such awful
language?" asked the Priest.
"Well, I was out golfing and I hit this incredible drive that looked
like it was going to go over 250 yards, but the ball hit a phone
line hanging over the fairway and fell straight down to the ground
after going about 100 yards."
"I'm a golfer myself my son" said the Priest "I understand what you
were feeling. So this is when you swore?"
"No Father," said the man,
"You see, after that a squirrel ran out of the bushes and grabbed my
ball in his mouth and began to run away."
"And this is when you swore?" asked the Father again.
"No not yet. Just as the squirrel was running away, this eagle came
down out of the sky and grabbed the squirrel in his talons and began
to fly away!"
"And it was then that you swore?" asked the amazed Priest.
"No, not yet," replied the man, "Just as the eagle was flying away
with the squirrel he flew towards a wooded area next to the green.
And as he passed over it, the squirrel dropped my ball."
"Did you swear then, my son?" asked the now impatient Priest.
"No, because as the ball fell it struck a tree, bounced through some
bushes, careened off a big rock, and then rolled through a sand trap
and on to the green and stopped dead six inches from the hole!" told
the man.
The priest sighed,
"You missed the ^%$#@! putt, didn't you!!
