No one is dumb who is curious. The people who don't ask questions remain clueless throughout their lives.

Three fans were bemoaning the sorry state of their football team.
“I blame the general manager,” said the first fan. “If he signed better players, we’d be a great team.”
“I blame the players,” said the
second fan. “If they made more of
an effort, we’d score some points.”
“I blame my parents,” said the third. “If I’d been born in Dallas,
I’d be supporting a decent team.”

The topic of my student’s essay was the importance of trust, camaraderie, and toughness among football
players. “After all,” he wrote, “you don’t want a bunch of pre-Madonnas out there on the field.”

Two campers are hiking in the woods when one is bitten on the rear end by a rattlesnake. "I'll go into town for a doctor," the other says. He runs ten miles to a small town and finds the only doctor delivering a baby.
"I can't leave," the doctor says. "But here's what to do. Take a knife, cut a little X where the bite is, suck out the poison and spit it on the ground."
The guy runs back to his friend, who is in agony. "What did the doctor say?" the victim cries.
"He says you're gonna die."

It’s weird that NFL players don’t constantly look at their phones to check their stats.

I prefer the tight yoga pants football players wear over the frumpy businesswoman slacks baseball players wear.

During graduate school, I tutored a football player in Psychology 101. After the session, my supervising professor asked me if I was interested in the student, since he was a good-looking athlete.
“No, I’m not,” I assured him.
“Yeah, you probably prefer men who eat quiche,” he joked.
“Actually, I prefer men who can spell quiche.”

Good morning Boomers!
Welcome to the weekend!
I'm glad we've got August started so we can get it over with.
Looking at the forecast for the whole month I don't see a single 100 degree day in there, although I know those forecast change as often as the weather.
I hope it's right though. I hate perspiration!
Our mornings though are back up in the 70s to start the day instead of the 60s we've had for the last week.
I suppose I'll get through it.
Have a happy day everyone.
