Who Knew?

Dear Son:

Forget about football, basketball or baseball. Take up golf, young man. It's less physically punishing, you can continue to play well into old age, and it appears to have other benefits as well (which also last well into old age).

Dear GF,

I hate to be the one to break it to you, BUT at least one of your sons is into, well, kickball. It's unlikely that any of the women pictured would have married a kickball player, no matter how accomplished. And here I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.

For your information, my kickball prowess has managed to produce for me an exceedingly attractive female companion.

Plus, your mom's ugly.

And, FYI, golf is extremely physically punishing. Perhaps not as acutely as football, but the golf swing is an incredibly unnatural and strenuous motion, contorting the spinal column and giving you Old Man Back. (Medical term.)

Any distant relation has been greatly exaggerated. And for some reason, I am reminded this morning of the old maxim (which I just made up): "Wary ought be the man who calls his college-age daughter 'babe'."

Just sayin'.
