Leave It To Peever
Monday August 20, 2007
* Where else do you hear people yelling out, "Whore." I think the guys are just trying to chase the women off the course. * An eagle is a bird everywhere but on the golf course. * In professional tournament play, you keep your opponents score. If you make a mistake, your opponent gets disqualified. That ain't right. * Where else do you hear words like shank, slice, and chili dip being used. Maybe a Jewish deli. * Golf is not ranked as a very tough sport. On a scale of 1-60, boxing is ranked number one and golf number 51. I bet the researchers never got in front of John Daly headed to the bar at the end of a round. * What the hell is a "casual" bunker? How can putting sand right in front of you ever be considered "casual?" * Where else would you call something made out of metal a wood? * The lower your score, the better. That doesn't happen in any other sport. * There is a lot of etiquette involved in golf. Where else do guys worry about etiquette? "I'm sorry I was talking while you were hitting?" Who the hell cares? * A wrong swing can produce ground flight that outdistances ball flight. The rule book refers to this as demolition of course growth, punishable by a two stroke penalty. * Professional golfers are not allowed to ride in carts, but are allowed to hire some poor sucker to carry their bag. What's the deal with that? * There are all types of devices that are suppose to help bad golfers become better. Bad golfers spend all kinds of money buying them. About all you get are bad golfers that are than broke.

* Bush, Rove, Cheney, Rumsfeld. Ministers of gloom. * Eve would have been better off with the snake. * Hell is no further down the road than the first hungry child, or homeless person, or lonely shut-in. * Which is worse: A prostitute, a drug dealer, or a Fortune 500 CEO looting the company with outrageous salaries. * Dying is not near as hard as living. * Killing and destruction has always been a popular activity with humans. * There is no necessity that the human race should survive. Time could care less. * Which came first: Water, air, or management screwing labor? * How did society come to believe that health-care is a privilege, not a right? * If you find yourself in a state of mental confusion where things do not seem real, and are distorted and ugly, I would suggest getting out of politics if I were you.

Make someone happy. I'm not talking about tee-hee happy. Make someone feel like they are special. Make them feel like today is the best day of their life. The more you make people happy, the more happiness you'll find. Happiness is contagious. Happiness is what life is all about. For me, finding happiness is why we are here. Why we get married. Why we have children. Why we have friends. Why we fall in love. These things all present opportunities to find happiness. In the pursuit of happiness, there is no room for ugliness, hatred, revenge, grudges. Seek that which makes you happy, and leave the rest. By the way, what makes you happy?
