Joke from The Humble One. Thanks.

Posted by tennisplanet on May 4, 2009

THE HUMBLE ONE

Another Golf joke, inspired by Dee…

One day an Irishman, who had been stranded on a deserted island for over 10 years, saw a speck on the horizon.
He thought to himself, “It’s certainly not a ship.”

As the speck got closer and closer, he began to rule out even the possibilities of a small boat or a raft.
Suddenly there strode from the surf a figure clad in a black wet suit.

Putting aside the scuba tanks and mask and zipping down the top of the wet suit
stood a drop-dead gorgeous blonde!

She walked up to the stunned Irishman and said to him,

“Tell me, how long has it been since you’ve had a good cigar?”

“Ten years” replied the amazed Irishman.

With that, she reached over and unzipped a waterproof pocket on the left sleeve of her wetsuit and pulled out a fresh package of cigars and a lighter.

He took a cigar, slowly lit it, and took a long drag. “Faith and begorrah,” said the castaway, “that is so good! I’d almost forgotten how great a smoke can be!”

“And how long has it been since you’ve had a drop of good Irish Whiskey?” asked the blonde.

Trembling, the castaway replied, “Ten years.”

Hearing that, the blonde reached over to her right sleeve, unzipped a pocket
there and removed a flask and handed it to him.

He opened the flask and took a long drink. “‘Tis the nectar of the gods!” shouted the Irishman. “‘Tis truly fantastic!!!”

At this point the gorgeous blonde started to slowly unzip the long front of her wet suit, right down the middle. She looked at the trembling man and asked, “And how long has it been since you played around?”

With tears in his eyes, the Irishman fell to his knees and sobbed,

“Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Don’t tell me that you’ve got golf clubs in there too!”

Should Federer take the risk?

Posted by tennisplanet on May 4, 2009

Could Agassi have had the career he ended up with, if he had not bunji jumped through the rankings in his prime?

Whatever was the reason from Brooke Shields to Barbara Streisand to his own inflated sense of being some exceptionally great looking dude to his rebellion against his father to helplessness against Sampras, receding hair line etc. etc. – it may have provided him the will and motivation to come back stronger and with far more determination.

It’s a proven scientific fact that a break from a routine more often than not re-energises and rejuvenates human body and mind. That’s when there’s no other compelling reason to go that route, like health etc.

But if both exist, isn’t it a no brainer?

You have just gotten married, child is expected in a few months, your back cannot be in perfect shape to play at his level with the short break you have taken – despite what you say, you still appear indecisive about the coach situation, the semifinal ceiling is only getting stronger by the day, you have compacted what no one has EVER done in four years (talk about routine), your confidence is shot adding cracks in your game by the set now (Djokovic at Rome?) etc. etc.

That’s just too much on the plate to allow the laser focus on the game needed against the hungry young players on the tour today.

Granted the break will hurt your rank and the subsequent dynamic at the draw. But who cares? Whether you play Nadal in the first round or in the final shouldn’t really matter now. It didn’t for Agassi.

There may be some other down side to the hiatus, but at this point, considering what the up side can be backed by precedent set by Agassi, it sure looks like a calculated risk.

You are not just shooting in the dark. You might be today, though.

Besides, what’s there to lose anyway? If you are thinking that by stabbing in the dark and continuing to throw BS at the wall hoping something will stick is a better alternative, you need to stop the dope NOW.

Alternatively, if you do come out firing after the break with your body and mind completely rested and in shape, and start winning some titles, how smart would that make you look?

In the worst case scenario, even if you don’t, if nothing else, it will allow you to enjoy the process a lot more than today.

Give it a shot. It can only make it better. Science backs it up emphatically.

I want to watch this ‘Earth’ movie and mom won’t allow it. Geeezzz!!!!

Posted by tennisplanet on May 4, 2009

Parents!!!!

I mean this swine flu crap is almost over now, isn’t it? Besides the theatre I go to is in some remote area with very few people.

But all this is never enough.

It’s not that I can sneak out or something. My coming out of basement is like a lion on the prowl. Every freaking monkey and the bird raises an alarm. I mean within minutes the whole world knows I am out.

And then dad gets involved which is never a good thing.

I want to see this movie.

Another one bites the dust.

Posted by tennisplanet on May 4, 2009

For lunatics who have been wasting their time on this stupid site for sometime now will remember my nonsensical theory of the sure fire tell tale signs preceding a player’s decline.

When the decline flame starts to flicker players will start coming out with bold, egotistical and wave making BS to deny any truth to it. It’s also called denial.

From Tyson’s ‘I’ll eat Lewis’s kids’ to Federer’s comments on what Murray needs to do to improve to stupid Serena’s “quite frankly, I’m the best in the world.”

It never fails. Wonder what Roddick will come up with? Federer should have a son by then though!!!!! Or anyone with more than one Slam take the pounding?

The beginning of the path to irrelevance is just too shocking for these relentless ‘hoggers of the limelight’ creatures.

If you doubt any of this BS, just watch the not so slow slide Serena is going to go into soon with no shot at coming up again.

Typically these clowns fare very poorly in their life after retirement? Tyson? Or is he doing it in reverse? His retirement life may have been better.

But to just imagine the distorted self image these clowns have of themselves makes you wonder if they should be neutered at the first opportunity to stop them from ruining future generations.

How freaking crazy do you have to be to come out with these stupid self centered comments?

You have a bummed out knee, your weight is out of control, you are getting ugly by the minute, you are past tennis prime by a mile, you have not even scratched the surface in coming close to the greats of the game – and you want to put down the current No. 1 instead of congratulating her?

What a bunch of baloney!!!!!

Serena, if you are not able to find a boy friend or some clown to marry you, despite countless appearances at NBA games, while Venus has, and if this is your way of joining the other team – this may not be the best way to go about it. Check with Mauresmo or dare I say Navratoliva.

Stuff a sock and shut up. You don’t want us to call Sharapova to put you in place, do you?
