Good morning crew,
Well, the tournament on Sunday was almost exactly what I
expected it to be; boring. Do you remember the fight montage
at the end of The Karate Kid? What you didn't see in that
90 seconds was the nine hours of sitting around waiting for
your turn to come.
And I didn't even have the excitement of a fight to punctuate
my day. I got to watch a succession of about a hundred eight
and nine-year-olds perform taegeuk forms.
There were a few highlights. The girlfriend was there
competing in the black belt form category. And she won first
place out of a field of about 15 competitors.
So congratulations to her.
I played my small part in her success. On Saturday before
the tournament I invited her over to my apartment and forced
her to watch 'The Street Fighter' starring Sonny Chiba.
Hey, if Sonny Chiba can't inspire a person, no one can.
Laugh it up,
Joe

Another man and I share a locker at work. Noticing that it
needed a new combination lock, my partner said he would pick
one up on his way to work the next day. It occurred to me
later that I might not see him in the morning. How would I
find out the combination? I needn't have worried.
When I arrived at work I found that he had used the locker
before me and had left a note reading: "To find the first
number subtract 142 from your high score the last time we
went bowling. The second number is 16 less than that. To
find the third number subtract 1.87 from the amount you owe
me."

My wife-to-be and I were at the county clerk's office to get
our marriage license. After recording the vital information;
names, dates of birth, etc. the clerk handed me our license
and deadpanned, "No refunds, no exchanges, no warranties."
