August 6 2006-Extra

Well gang, there’s really not much news this week. Of course, for our club, no news is usually good news.
There was, however, a solid piece of common sense overheard at an ice house the other day.
In the middle of a political discussion, an old timer pointed his cigar at the gathering and said, "If Ronald Reagan and Arnold Schartzenegger can be elected governor of California, and Jesse Ventura can be elected governor of Minnesota, then there’s no reason in hell that Kinki Friedman can’t be elected governor of Texas.
"He’s a card carrying member of the Montrose Beer and Gun Club, and as "Kinki" says himself, "How hard can it be?"’
The last time a Texas governor ran on the independent ticket was when Sam Houston ran as such. Maybe it’s time to try another independent. It’s got a nice sound to it.
And there is one piece of social news. Bob and Molly Tee have split up.
As every body knows, they met on a golf course, both went to college on golf scholarships, were married on a golf course, and Bob is a golf pro at a Houston golf course.
Well, Bob was dozing off in bed the other night and Molly said to him, "Honey, if I died, would you marry again?"
Bob mumbled sleepily, "Uh, well, yeah, I guess so."
"Would you let her wear my jewelry?" Molly asked.
Once again, Bob mumbled, "Uh, well, yeah, I guess so."
"Would you let her use my golf clubs?"she asked.
"No," said Bob.
Molly raised up on her elbow, touched Bob gently on the shoulder, and said, "Why not?"
"Because she’s left handed." Said Bob.
Well, Bob’s in the hospital, and Molly is in jail.
She always was pretty good with a seven iron.

Till next week
