FRIDAY!

Joke of the day, courtesy of my dad:

The doctor said, "Joe, the good news is I can cure your headaches. The bad news is that it will require castration. You have a very rare condition which causes your testicles to press on your spine, and the pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles."

Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for.
He had no choice but to go under the knife. When he left the hospital he was without a headache for the first time in 20 years, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself.

As he walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life. He saw a men's clothing store and thought, "That's what I need - a new suit."

He entered the shop and told the salesman, "I'd like a new suit."

The elderly tailor eyed him briefly and said, "Let's see... size44 long." Joe laughed, "That's right, how did you know?" "

"Been in the business 60 years!"

Joe tried on the suit. It fit perfectly. As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about a new shirt?" Joe thought for a moment and then said, "Sure." The salesman eyed Joe and said, "Let's see, 34 sleeve and 16-1/2 neck." Joe was surprised, "That's right, how did you know?"

"Been in the business 60 years!"

Joe tried on the shirt, and it fit perfectly. As Joe adjusted the collar in the mirror, the salesman asked, "Howabout new shoes?" Joe was on a roll and said, "Sure." The salesman eyed Joe'sfeet and said, "Let's see...9-1/2 E." Joe was astonished, "That's right, how did you know?"

"Been in the business 60 years!"

Joe tried on the shoes and they fit perfectly. Joe walked comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked, "How about some new underwear?"
Joe thought for a second and said, "Sure." The salesman stepped back, eyed Joe's waist and said, "Let's see...size 36." Joe laughed "Ah ha! I got you! I've worn size 34 since I was 18 years old."

The salesman shook his head, "You can't wear a size 34. A 34 underwear would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache."

And, many congrats to the Chicago White Sox for a thoroughly dominating performance in the recently-concluded World Series. Game 3 was a gem.

Thank you -- the World Series championship, the first time back in Chicago since 1917, is a great thing for the city. There's excitement in the air and a great vibe, especially during the ticker tape parade, which I snuck out of work to watch for a bit. They played a great Series... I wish it would've been seven games. That's three less ball games to watch.

But ya know, if it would've been the Cubs, the city would have been MUCH MUCH crazier. I'm not a Sox fan, but I'm happy for the city, but I'm the most jealous baseball fan right now. I wish I knew how it felt.

Root root root for the home team, right?

In other news, my women's team is ranked fourth out of 14 at the end of the season in our co-ed league. We start playoffs this Wednesday.
