The Super Bowl Brouhaha.

It was the day after Super Bowl last year. I was at work thinking of how to go about the day’s assignment of duties to my guys. Casually, one of them asked how I felt about “yesterday’s game”. Shrugging my shoulders nonchalantly, I answered that I did not watch the game. The guy asked if my team was not among the two teams that played. This time, my response was that I had no football team. At this stage, I wished he had left me alone in my thoughts. Rather, he went on to ask if I was one of “those people” who preferred basketball to football. Now exasperated, I looked at him and stated that I had no basketball team, no baseball team, no hockey team, no “nothing”.

Was he angry? “What kind of a guy are you…with no interest in sports?”

I retorted quickly that I had interest in soccer, boxing, martial arts and Track & Field.

“You can’t compare those ones with football!” he screamed like he was about to cry.

“Alright…fine…can we now get some work done?” I said firmly.

The guy sulked all day, not hiding his disdain for me.

Fast-forward to yesterday morning. I tried everything to avoid all discussions about the Super Bowl. But toward the end of the shift, I saw a patrol car trying to pull me over. It was my football-loving guy. Looking like he had the most important thing in the world to tell me, he said: “With all due respects sir…if you can watch the Super bowl, you’ll realize what you’ve been missing all your life…”

“Ah…okay.” I nodded my head in dismay at such a fanatic devotion. As he walked back to his car though, I decided subconsciously to watch the game.



 

 

 

 

 

When a Tradition Needs an Exception.

In a Lighter mood

A man is drinking with his wife when out of the blue, he announces;

"I love you."

The woman stares at her husband with a grateful smile.

"But...is that you or your beer talking?" she wonders aloud.

"It's me." the man answered calmly. "And I'm actually talking to my beer."

Moved by the church service, the richest man in town stood up to address
the congregation.

"I remember the day I earned my first dollar." he stated with confidence. "That night,
I went to a church meeting and the preacher told us about his missionary work.
I had only that single dollar bill, and I had to make a decision. Should I contribute
the dollar to his worthy cause or keep it. So, I gave him the money.
I believe that God blessed my decision and that is why I am a millionaire today."

As he sat down and before anyone could applaud, a woman shouted.

"And I dare you to do it again now!"

A stark-naked woman jumps into a taxi and gives the cabbie an address.
The cabbie just looks at her, making no attempt to drive.

"What are you staring at?' the woman asks with a blush. "Haven't you seen
a naked woman before?"

"I'm not staring at you." the cabbie replies.

"Okay...so, if you're not staring, what are you doing?" the woman asks again.

"I'm just wondering..." the cabbie answered, looking at her all over.
"...wondering where you're keeping the money to pay me when we arrive
your destination?"
