The PBA? Let's get through this mess and go back to talking football.
You know - Go 'Cats, Go Raiders, Go Johnnies and all that stuff!
Stay well, big guy! 🍺

The Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrel infestation. After much prayer and consideration, they concluded that the squirrels were predestined to be there, and they shouldn't interfere with God's divine will.

At the Baptist church the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistery. The deacons met and decided to put a water-slide on the baptistery and let the squirrels drown themselves. The squirrels liked the slide and unfortunately, knew instinctively how to swim, so twice as many squirrels showed up the following week.

The Lutheran church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God's creatures. So, they humanely trapped their squirrels and set them free near the Baptist church. Two weeks later the squirrels were back when the Baptists took down the water-slide.

The Episcopalians tried a much more unique path by setting out pans of whiskey around their church in an effort to kill the squirrels with alcohol poisoning. They sadly learned how much damage a band of drunk squirrels can do.

But the Catholic church came up with a very creative strategy! They baptized all the squirrels and made them members of the church. Now they only see them at Christmas and Easter.

And not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue. They took the first squirrel and circumcised him. They haven't seen a squirrel since.

That's a riot. You are a never-ending source of really, really funny "stuff"!
Why do I think if I had gone to St. John's with you, I would have laughed through all 4 (or 5 or 6) years at all your witticisms.
If there is a "comic laureate", you get my vote.
Stay well my friend.

I'm not on quarantine or on stay at home orders and I ended up watching the 1986 WWF Summer Slam yesterday.

Hopefully I'm Moe. I can't work Curly anymore.

How are your businesses holding up?

Thank you for asking.

All of our locations are considered "essential" so we are open for business. Our staff is fully employed even though sales levels are about half of normal. So we are intact and treading water is how I would put it, better situation than a lot of folks.

[Pat Coleman]

I hear you about the business being down. My 17-year-old son works at a local convenience store nearby and his hours have remained the same, but he says foot traffic is awful.

Hang in there!

I don't know about your businesses but hope, whatever they are, they hang in there!
Stay tough my friend!

Anticipating that there will be D III football this year, now would be a good time to reread:
The Sweet Season
Even our good buddy from Alliance will enjoy it (esp. the last few pages).

OK! I'll give it a shot. How do I get it? Is this about 2003? If it is, that's ok. I know the "real" story.

1. The officials were all graduates of St. John's.
2. The Raiders Gatorade had been, shall we say, "tainted".
3. Music was piped into the Mount rooms during the night to prevent sleep.
4. Jocks were swapped out with a Pygmy tribe in central Africa.
5. The team jerseys belonged to the Alliance High School girl's field hockey team.

There are more instances of abuse but why go on?   

Now! How do I get it?  🍺

Never mind my post above about 2003. I just made that stuff up! Pat Coleman made me see the error of my ways.

Thank you in advance for your consideration!

I knew you made it up because the real story of 2003 was:
Blake Elliott et.al.
You really would enjoy The Sweet Season.

Blake Elliott. Yes, that name does come back now that you mention it. Why did you have to mention it? I'm trying to recover from rhinovirus and pneumonia. His name doesn't help in my recovery.
(He made All-World on my team! Damn, he was somethin' else.)

But all seriousness aside, thanks for the tip on the book. It sounds Good!
Stay safe and stay well, my friend! (Is there really a Rocky Mountain High?) 🍺
