Bet most of y'all don't know why so many women like tennis better than any other sport.

It's because tennis is one of the few sports that tolerates heated arguments with the officials.

One little know fact that's still pretty much a secret in the US is that during the National Basketball Association's (NBA) negotiations between the players and the owners for umpteen million dollar player contracts, in another secret meeting, a rep for the player's union purchased the NBA.

Passing by his house one day, I noticed one of my neighbors fishing in the "Fire Pond" (man-made lake for fighting fires) on his property. I stopped, went over to where he was casting and said, "Van ! You know damn right well there's no fish at all in that pond."

He smirked and replied, "Yeah, I know Jim. But on the other hand, it's so damn convenient."

When I was a Little League Baseball Coach I watched one boy strike out twice in practice. The third time, I grabbed the bat and said, "Now Watch !" and instructed our 12-year-old pitcher to throw me some hard stuff.

After six successive swings and misses, I turned to the boy and said, "Now, that's what you've been doing. Let me see you get up there the next time and hit."

Following yet another losing season, the Baltimore Ravens football team decided to give new draft picks an intelligence test. The coach asked the prospective LineBacker, "What do you think of the Middle East ?"

"Well..." the player pondered, "I like Ohio pretty much."

The coach replied, "Yeah, I guess Ohio's OK, but personally I like Kentucky better."
