How’s your week going so far? I’ve got a lot of little things on my plate, so my visits are limited … and I don’t see much changing the rest of the week.
Tuesday night was golf night. Although my wife told me that it was one of her worst games in some time, I had a good one – which was a good bounce-back from last week’s horrible round.
On to the mid-week dose of satire. Do you have any favorites? Can you develop your own headline using any combination of the info below? My combination is at the end. Have a good rest of the week!
Barber just latest in string of humans to find interest in what area man says
Boyfriend forced to express second-hand outrage
Battle of wits with unwieldly burrito nears thrilling end game
Mother considers son “Quite the little Cassanova”
No one in gang has heart to tell his police informant his cover’s blown
Mom calmly emptying dishwasher as if big argument didn’t happen 10 minutes ago
Rigorous battery of tests unable to determine if roommate broke up with girlfriend
Company immediately calls job applicant upon seeing “BA in Communications” on resume
Boyfriend forced to express secondhand outrage
Attorney friends catch up while briskly walking down courthouse steps
Bizarre assemblage of shapes visible through area man’s pockets
Evidence piling up Mom slept with one of her college professors
My Combo: Bizarre girlfriend unable to determine unwieldly burrito in boyfriend’s pockets

Frank, I can’t top your combo. Is that a burrito in your pocket or . . . ?

Nice try, but “On Satire Bits: Vol. 54,” just had too big a hill to climb to get anyway near your all-time masterpiece – “On Satire Bits: Vol. 53,” which I’ve been successfully mining the last week in my water cooler conversations.
Also glad your golf game improved yesterday. I attribute your turn-around to my pre-match practice range coaching session, which cleared your mind of distracting swing thoughts, and let you focus on why the Reds hitters (except for Joey Votto) refuse to choke up on the bat with two strikes in the count.

Tim,
Good try. I can’t recall thinking about the Reds during the round. Success on this night was getting it done from the tee (putting for birdie 6 of 9, no three putts).

Nothing like emptying the dishwasher to stimulate thinking … which could be what you were doing when you came up with this idea!

Sorry, I’m still basking in the double-barreled “you can’t make this stuff up” from the end of last week. First the Italian assistant minister for LGBT relations gets canned in less than 24 hours for dumb (albeit true) comments, then the Air Force’s officer in charge of eliminating sexual assault is arrested for sexual assault. Truth is, indeed, stranger than fiction.
Glad to hear you had a good golf fame. Me, I’m hacking my way outta the sand trap that is my Inbox. I think I might be on the green in one! (Okay, two. Okay, REALLY, well ….. what’s the highest number you can get in golf? 😀 )
