Today's SMC reminded me of an old NASCAR joke. What do you get when you have 32

NASCAR fans in one room. A full set of teeth!!

Priceless and timeless. It is a mystery to me why you had only a brief run as a standup comic. And an even greater mystery why you did not use your estimable writing talent earlier in your life. Well at least now we get to enjoy it. . Now as far your ability to hit a long fly ball over a decrepit outfielders head....well that's another matter. Keep these Sunday pieces coming Roy.

Truly a one minute manager, sir. Praise me. Then kick me. Oh, that felt so good. Oh, that hurt so much! Thx Mike.

I can drive a stick shift learned when I was 16. Good thing because I had one when I lived in Australia. Came home and ended up buying a Vega. Glad you had a great diving experience.

Great piece. Reminded me of my day at the BMW M school in Spartanburg which my son treated me to. We were told to not use the brake and to drive aa fast aa possible. After six hours of hot laps I realized it was a lesson in reckless driving.
