Rockpile – 3-8-2017
Deb Hoitomt bowled her first-ever “200” this past week on the Wednesday Nite Ladies league. Deb put up a nice 206 game!! Good job Birthday girl!! (Her birthday is March 6)
Brad Hoitomt, Deb’s hubby, bowled well last week also as Brad bowled a 265 game and a 659 series, on the Saturday Nite Live League.
Dennis Berends rolled a 899 series on our 9-pin tournament this past Sunday. Berends, unfortunately, blew the 10th frame on his last game to come up one pin short of his “900” series. Tough one, Dennis!!
Sorry for the short column, I had the flu bug this week.
Old Aged Pensioners…
Mike and Yvonne were 85 years old and had been married for sixty years. Though they were far from rich, they managed to get by because they carefully watched their pennies.
Though not young, they were both in very good health, largely due to Yvonne’s insistence on healthy foods and exercise for the last decade.
One day, their good health didn’t help when they went on a vacation and their plane crashed, sending them off to Heaven.
They reached the pearly gates, and St. Peter escorted them inside. He took them to a beautiful mansion, furnished in gold and fine silks, with a fully stocked kitchen and a waterfall in the master bath. A maid could be seen hanging their favorite clothes in the closet. They gasped in astonishment when he said, “Welcome to Heaven. This will be your home now.”
Mike asked Peter how much all this was going to cost. “Why, nothing,” Peter replied, “Remember, this is your reward in Heaven.”
Mike looked out the window and right there he saw a championship golf course, finer and more beautiful than any ever built on Earth.
“What are the greens fees?” grumbled Mike.
“This is heaven,” St. Peter replied. “You can play for free, every day.”
Next they went to the clubhouse and saw the lavish buffet lunch.
“Don’t even ask,” said St. Peter to Mike. “This is Heaven, it is all free for you to enjoy.”
Mike looked around and nervously asked Yvonne, “Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol foods and the decaffeinated tea?”
“That’s the best part,” St. Peter replied. “You can eat and drink as much as you like and you will never get fat or sick. This is Heaven!”
“No gym to work out at all?” said Mike
“Not unless you want to,” was the answer.
“No testing my sugar or blood pressure or…”
“Never again.”
Mike glared at Yvonne and said, “You and your darn Bran Flakes. We could have been here years ago!”
Birdie with a yellow bill, hopped upon my window sill, cocked a shining eye and says: “Ain’t you a’shamed, you sleepyhead!!!” Bee Boop!!
