Good morning crew,

So the tournament was a success...mostly. It was the first time this particular school has organized their own tournament and I think they got a bigger turnout than they expected. What they anticipated to be an 8 hour day turned into a ten hour day, and that was even after they skipped the lunch break because things were running so long.

Since every competitor has to pay a fee for every event they participate in I'm sure the event organizer made a tidy little bundle. So it was a success for them.

And I placed first in the category I competed in; hapkido self defense. So it was a success for me.

But after ten hours I was too exhausted to enjoy it.

The wife did pretty well too. She placed first in her divison in form, although she did not win grand champion, and she placed first in board breaking competition. However she only placed third in self defense demonstration.

We never even got to compete directly with one another. What a disappointment. I was looking forward to showing her my flying scissors technique!

Laugh it up,

Joe

A four-year-old was showing a little friend the family photos that covered one wall in their basement. Out of sight but not out of earshot, her mother overheard her say, "Here's a picture of my mommy when she was a little girl. I wasn't there, but people say she used to be nice."

Although he always ordered just ham and eggs everyday, one customer at the diner always studied the menu carefully each day before ordering.

One day, his regular waitress decided to see if he could be made to order anything else. Before giving him the menu she marked out the ham and eggs entry.

Once the customer had looked over the menu for a few minutes, the waitress approached him and asked, "Sir, did you notice that I scratched something you like?"

Without looking up from the menu, he quickly replied, "Well, would you mind washing your hands before you bring me my ham and eggs?"
