Joke of the Week

Golf With The Wife

A husband reluctantly agreed to play in the couples' alternate shot tournament at his club. He teed off on the first hole, a par four and blistered a drive 300 yards down the middle of the fairway.
 
Upon reaching the ball, the husband said to his wife, "Just hit it toward the green, anywhere around there will be fine."  The wife proceeded to shank the ball deep into the woods.
 
Undaunted, the husband said, "That's OK, Sweetheart" and spent the full five minutes looking for the ball.  He found it just in time, but in a horrible position.  He played the shot of his life to get the ball within two feet of the hole.  He told his wife to knock the ball in.
 
His wife then proceeded to knock the ball off the green and into a bunker. Still maintaining composure, the husband summoned all of his skill and holed the shot from the bunker.

He took the ball out of the cup and while walking off the green, put his arm around his wife and calmly said, "Honey, that was a bogey and that's OK, but I think we can do better on the next hole."

To which she replied, "Listen asshole, don't bitch at me, only 2 of those 5 shots were mine."

Nice Emails of The Week

I received a flood of emails after my Miami Ink Episode appeared on Thursday night.  Here are some of my favorite excerpts:

Well, just watched it and it was great.

Congrats and tell Miss Sheri she looked great, too.  But she was a little quiet.  ;-)

Hey my name is Ashley and I recorded the episode of Miami Ink you were
on and I am just now watching it. After you said your web site I went
right to it hoping to find a way to contact you. I can not believe the
positive attitude that you have. I have known so many people that let
the smallest things put a complete stop in their lives, myself being one
of them. And seeing you talk about your childhood and being able to look
back and joke with Chris about the long sleeves and your hand coming out
made me start laughing and I could picture it in my mind and I thought
that is amazing that even at a young age you kept your head high and
didn't take shit from anyone. That's awesome!

Just watched you getting your tattoo on Miami Ink !! Very interesting !! Good to see that you have a great website getting a lot of attention- You deserve it !! I'm so happy to see you accepting your 'small' disability so well- Some people just don't realize how lucky they are, do they? Taking everything for granted. But, truth is- nobody is perfect.  ALSO wonder what you would charge to put my Ebay address on your site? It's seewhatimsellingnow  Collectibles and 'stuff'...... Called 'Betty's Stuff and Nonscense'.......but seewhatimsellingnow takes you to my auction.  Just let me know.  Glad I got to 'meet' you tonight, via 'Miami Ink' (my favorite show) It was a pleasure !!

This email is from a mom with a son who's endured quite a few challenges in life including having hands that are similar to mine.  This one really touched me:

But now to the reason I am e-mailing you. Now that Michael is more 'aware' of things, he has also noticed that he is physically different from other children. I think it really hit him when the kids in his class were counting to ten, and like most kids; he uses his fingers...He was so upset and couldn't verbally express what was going on, but he was at home and counting to 9 with his fingers and then would count to 10 with mine. I told him that God could only make so many people who were special and not like everybody else...I doubt that was the best thing to tell him... Last night my sister in law was watching 'miami ink' and she called us right away to give us your website. I showed him your pictures, he would look at your picture and then himself...He did that several times, smiled but said nothing...today he pointed to the computer, so I pulled up the website again, and he smiled...So I wanted to send you an e-mail about my son and to thank you for not being afraid to share your story with the world. It not mean much to some, but to see him smile and see somebody who looks like him...Well it means the world to our little family. Thank You so much for putting a smile on my son's face! I doubt I could ever thank you enough! I guess he really needed to see that he wasn't alone and that it is cool to be different...Now hopefully he won't be asking for a tattoo anytime soon, this mommy isn't ready for that...ha ha!

Dude, you were great and the tat is amazing. After seeing the show I checked out your sight and it's great also...what I had time to check out. I will be going back in to see more, soon.

I did want to say before I let you get back to more important business, your DAD tribute is awesome! Your dad and mine had to be made from the same mold. Thank you for making me remember to call my dad before I go to bed tonight. You Rock!!!

Hi saw you the other night and remembered the name of your websight. I have nothing fun to send you just wanted to say you have a great positive outlook on life, i have long arms and get bummed out still. just wanted to say your a cool guy and i am not normally someone who gives a crap about stuff just wanted to say thanks take care and god bless.

I was watching Miami Ink and saw you getting your tattoo, and thought I would check out your web site.  It's pretty cool.  I had a buddy in high school that had a severe back and hip problem, there were so many people that fucked with him and it really made me mad.  I did all kinds of things with him, one thing that he loved to do is go fishing, and we used to go out on my atv and I would let him drive right out in the water so he could cast out a little further and also have a place to sit.  I haven't seen him in a few years now but still remember hanging out and playing pool and going fishing.  I know kind of how it feels to be stared at, because people gave my buddy the LOOK all the time when I was with him, and he didn't get nearly as pissed as I did, I guess he was used to it, but it bothered me.   I will tell my family and friends to check out your site, and I will email you again for sure.

good show last night.  you looked like you were on speed or something LOL

Just saw the episode...great piece and great site...

Take care!

And I thought I was the only one that made fun of myself!!!  Kind of ruins everyone else’s joke when you beat them to the punch.  Myself whenever I get asked if a I can see something (no matter how far away it is) I say with a stone face “nope”.  

The funniest thing is that I have ran into perfectly normal people that actually get offended when I pick on myself.  And to them I say “you just wish your disability could be funny.”

Just watched Miami Ink and saw your segment.   I was already a fan of your sight because of the content, now I'm a bigger fan because of the man behind it.

 You've got a great attitude and deserve a lot of respect, I know you've got mine. Keep doing what you're doing.  Shawn
