Golf Rules for Beginners:
1) Back straight, knees bent, feet shoulder width apart. 2) Form a loose grip. 3) Keep your head down. 4) Avoid a quick back swing. 5) Stay out of the water. 6) Try not to hit anyone. 7) If you are taking too long, please let others go ahead of you. 8) Don't stand directly in front of others. 9) Quiet please ... while others are preparing to go. 10) Don't take extra strokes. Now, that's very good. Flush the urinal, go outside, and tee off. |

"To play bocce", in Italy, is almost a synonym to "to be old". There is also a smaller version of it, called "boccette", which is played on a billiard table... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgCWAUfRCZU |

I had been to Val d'Isere in the French Alps several times in winter for the skiing, but it wasn't until we stayed in our usual hotel in the summer time on a motorcycle tour that I discovered the Petanque courts between the hotel and the ski lifts! (They had always been covered with snow!) And they were filled with old men smoking Gitanes, plotting strategies for the next ball!

Q. Why do women pay more attention to their appearance than improving their minds?
A. Because most men are stupid, but few are blind. |
