Sad golf story..somewhat OT
Joe was teeing off from the back tees. On his downswing, he suddenly
realized that his wife, Mary, was about to tee off from the red tees, directly in his path. Unable to stop his down swing he nailed the ball, hit Mary directly in the right temple, killing her instantly. A few days later Joe received a call from the coroner concerning her autopsy. "Joe, your wife seems to have died from blunt force trauma to the head. You said you hit a golf ball and struck her in the temple. Is that correct?" "Yes sir," Joe replied, "that's correct." "Well, Joe, I also found a large bruise on Mary's right hip. Do you know anything about that?" "Yes sir," Joe said, "That would have been my mulligan." -- ****************************************** ***** Have a super day! ***** ****************************************** John |

John, do you really have a problem with an occasional joke? even a lame
one? John Wentworth wrote: "JohnH" wrote in message ... Joe was teeing off from the back tees. On his downswing, he suddenly Somewhat OT? WTF does a lame golf joke have to do with boating? Can't you stop typing for even an hour or two, or have you become totally dependent on this NG? |

John, was that really necessary? That's how all the crap gets started around
here. Unless it's a personal attack, leave it alone. If it *is* a personal attack, it should be taken out of the group... but *that* will never happen. It's a 'saving face' kinda thing. Besides, that joke is an oldie but goodie. --Mike "John Wentworth" wrote in message . .. "JohnH" wrote in message ... Joe was teeing off from the back tees. On his downswing, he suddenly Somewhat OT?

And, no, that's not how all the crap gets started around here. The crap gets started by posters who feel this forum is suitable for displaying their choice of OT subject, which offends another OT poster whose tastes differ. Then another 4 or 5 OT posters chime in and the thread stretches on forever. At some point the thread is cross-posted and the real fun starts. Standing in the middle is some Solomon who attempts to determine which posts are offensive and which are okay. At that point another argument breaks out over the fairness of Solomon's judgments. Yes, the "personal attack" threads are the most offensive, but it's the climate of "post what you want" that grants approval to the posters who contribute to them. |

You should come on board when some of the real political or religious crap comes into play. Are you doing a lot of boating now? -- ****************************************** ***** Have a super day! ***** ****************************************** John |

John Today it's 15° and snowing, with NW winds gusting to 28mph, so, no, I'm not doing a lot of boating. Boating in New Hampshire will resume sometime in May unless you're the sort who likes to dodge ice. The difference in our viewpoints seem to be that you differentiate between "real political or religious crap" and general run-of-the-mill crap, and I don't. I can't see how you can discourage one type of crap while condoning another type. Our Solomon tried it and seems to have gotten drop-kicked in the butt. Anyway, this ends my OT posting for a while. Any southern boaters who would like to share a story about a cruise to the islands or a fishing trip to a favorite lake should feel free to do so. That sort of thing does lend hope that spring will come someday. |

That sort of thing does lend hope that spring will come someday. I've not been opposed to postings about subjects other than boating, e.g. photography, cars, tractors, etc, etc, because the topics were not designed to be incendiary. In other words, I'm not a 'purist' with regard to the topic. However, there is a set of subjects which will incite flame wars, politics and religion being subsets thereof, along with subjects designed to lead to political posturing, like global warming and WalMart. Today is cold here also. Yesterday I developed a cough which has torn my throat up. I won't be doing any boating. Besides, the boat's been winterized and is put up for the season. I'll see it again next spring. If something in the golf joke was offensive to you, I apologize. I guess it could be taken as an anti-woman thing, although certainly not meant to be. -- ****************************************** ***** Have a super day! ***** ****************************************** John |
