Getting a New Pet....
A guy was lonely, and decided life would be more fun if he had a pet.
So he went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an
unusual pet. After some discussion, he finally bought a centipede, which
came in a little white box to use for his house.
He took the box back home, found a good location for
the box, and decided he would start off by taking his new pet to the bar
to have a drink. So he asked
the centipede in the box, "Would you like to go to Frank's with me
and have a beer?" But there was no answer from his new pet. This
bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes and then asked him again,
"How about going to the bar and having a drink with me?" But
again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet.
So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about
the situation. He decided to ask him one more time; this time putting his
face up against the centipede's house and shouting, "Hey, in there!
Would you like to go to Frank's place and have a drink with me?"
A little voice came out of the box: "I heard you
the first time! I'm putting on my shoes."

Golf
is such an Easy Game:
Everyone can learn to play golf! Once a player
has mastered the grip and stance, all he has to bear in mind, in the brief
two-second interval it takes to swing, is to keep his left elbow pointed
in toward the left hip and his right arm loose and closer to the body than
the left----and take the clubhead past his right knee---and then break the
wrists at just the right instant while the left arm is still traveling
straight back from the ball and the right arm stays glued to the
body---and the hips come around in a perfect circle---and meanwhile
everything is mucked up unless the weight is 60 percent on the left foot
and 40 percent on the right---not an ounce more or less---and at just the
right point in the turn the left knee bends in toward the right in a
dragging motion until the left heel comes off the ground---but not too
far---and be sure the hands are over the right foot---but not on the toe
more than the heel---except that the left side of the right foot is tilted
off the ground---but not too far---and be sure the hands at the top of the
swing are high and the shaft points along a line parallel with the
ground---and if its a downhill lie the shaft is supposed to be pointed
downhill too---and pause at the top of the swing and count one, jerk the
left arm straight down like a bell ringer yanking a belfry rope---and
don't uncock the wrists too soon and pull the left hip around in a
circle---but don't let the shoulders turn with the hips, they have to be
facing the hole---and now transfer the weight 60 percent to the left foot
and 40 percent to the right---not an ounce more or less---and tilt the
left foot now so the right side of it is straight---that's the one you hit
against---watch out for the left hand, it's supposed to be extended---but
not too stiff or the shot won't go anywhere---and don't let it get loose
or you will hook---and let the wrists uncock---but don't force them or
you'll smother the shot---and don't break too soon but keep your head
down---then hit the ball! THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT!!
