WELC0ME to WEDNESDAY January 31. 2024
Here’s The Story…..
A young man who was also an avid golfer found himself with a few hours to spare
one afternoon. He figured if he hurried and played very fast, he could get in nine
holes before he had to head home. Just as he was about to tee off an old gentleman
shuffled onto the tee and asked if he could accompany the young man as he was
golfing alone. Not being able to say no, he allowed the old gent to join him.
To his surprise the old man played fairly quickly. He didn’t hit the ball far, but plodded
along consistently and didn’t waste much time. Finally, they reached the 9th fairway
and the young man found himself with a tough shot. There was a large pine tree right
in front of his ball – and directly between his ball and the green.
After several minutes of debating how to hit the shot the old man finally said, “You know,
when I was your age I’d hit the ball right over that tree.”
With that challenge placed before him, the youngster swung hard, hit the ball up, right
smack into the top of the tree trunk and it thudded back on the ground not a foot from
where it had originally lay.
The old man offered one more comment, “Of course, when I was your age
that pine tree was only three feet tall.”
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY, people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
We had a power outage last week and my computer,
TV, and games console shut down immediately.
It was raining hard and I couldn’t play golf either
so I just talked to my wife for a few hours.
She seems like a nice person. 😳
Tuesday’s’ Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from??? “
“I’ve just been down the gullet of an interstellar cockroach. That’s
one of a hundred memories I don’t want.”
Answer: Men in Black!
The world is crawling with aliens, and most of us have no idea that they’re there. The organization known as MIB exists, in secrecy, to monitor that alien life. When a Bug lands, looking to create havoc in the galaxy, drawing Earth into the middle of it, the agents of MIB spring into action to save the day. This quote occurs near the end of the movie, when Agent Kay, played by Tommy Lee Jones, has announced his intention to retire and has asked Agent Jay, played by Will Smith, to wipe his memory clear. Jay protests, and Kay replies with the above quote.
