Perhaps you caught the news about the Cold Eskimos. It seems two Eskimos were out fishing in a kayak when one said to the other, “I don’t think I can do any more of this, I’m freezing!” His buddy replied, “So am I, but I have an idea. Why don’t we build us a fire?” His buddy’s response, “You mean build a fire right here in the kayak?” “Yes, right here in the kayak.” “That’s a great idea!”
Well, they built the fire, it burned a hole in the kayak, the kayak sank, and they both drown. This just goes to show you, “You can’t have your kayak and heat it too!” (Come on, you KNOW you like it!)

Little Billy asked the ticket vendor if he could buy a ticket to the Moon. The ticket vendor’s response: “I’m sorry son, but the Moon is full.”
(A little thought about this one will produce a beam of light that will show the humor of it.)

When I was in Alaska last I thought I saw an eye doctor on an Alaskan island, but it actually turned out to be an “optical Aleutian.” (Keep on eye on this one, it’ll go far)

After becoming very frustrated with the attitude of the shopkeeper, the young blonde declared, ‘Well, then, maybe I’ll just go out and catch my own Alligator and get a pair of Alligator shoes for free!!!’
The shopkeeper replied with a sly smile, ‘Well, little lady, why don’t you do just that?’
The blonde headed off to the swamp, determined to catch an Alligator and make her own shoes.
Later in the day, as the shopkeeper was driving home, he spotted the same young woman standing waist deep in the murky water of the swamp, shotgun in hand.
As he brought his car to a stop, he saw a huge 9-foot Gator swimming rapidly toward her. With lightning reflexes, the blonde took aim, shot the Gator and hauled it up onto the slippery bank. Nearby were 7 more dead Gators all lying belly up. The shopkeeper stood on the bank, watching in silent amazement as the blonde struggled mightily and finally managing to flip the Gator onto its back. Then, rolling her eyes heavenward, she screamed in frustration…..
“Oh, No! THIS ONE’S BAREFOOT, TOO!!!”

Perhaps you’ve heard about little Billy. Billy swallowed some coins and was quickly taken to the emergency room of the hospital. Needless to say, Billy’s mother was very concerned and grabbed a nurse by the arm and demanded to know how Billy was doing. The nurses’ response, “No change yet.”
(I realize some of you might think this isn’t worth a plug (plugged?) nickel, but I like it.)

When you’re a mouse!

The Sierra Vista Senior Games were held January 9-11, 2009 in Sierra Vista, Arizona. I only entered the venue of Table Tennis, as Archery was on the same day and the times did not work out. My friend Bob Park entered the Target Archery Venue and won Gold in the over 80 age bracket.
I was very pleasantly surprised at the facility and organization of the Table Tennis Venue. The Table Tennis was held at Janet & Roy’s Table Tennis Place. This facility was built by Roy (last name?). The facility was absolutely awesome. He built it specifically for Table Tennis. The tables were excellent, with ample room (length/width/height) and a small table for the score keeper. Each table was set off with fine netting, which kept the ball in court. There was only one entrance/exit for each court. The facility had a ball-machine and additional practice table for repetitious practice. The lighting was absolutely excellent, the best I’ve ever seen for table tennis.
I did not have a double’s partner and was placed with Larry Smith, President, Sierra Vista Table Tennis Club. The club web site is: www.sierravistatabletennisclub.org/
Larry is an excellent player, I really enjoyed playing with him as my partner. Although we did not place in the medals, I think we did relatively good and would do better next time.
I entered the 65-69 age bracket for singles and won the gold. 
I thoroughly enjoyed the fellowship. Everything was very well planned out and went very smoothly.
Manny Martinez was of great help to me as a new-comer and was the one that got me my double’s partner. Manny was the one that ran the activities on the day of play.
Here are a few pictures from the Table Tennis Venue.
