Ask For Directions? Never!!
It's simply in the DNA - if he's a man, he won't ask for directions. Women wonder aloud constantly, "honey, we're lost, I see a gas station ahead, let's pull over and ask where the highway is!" She'll be lucky to get a grunt as he speeds right on...

Why It's Called Golf
Why is golf called golf? Have you ever wondered that? Well the old joke goes that golf is called golf because the word f__k was already taken. While that is always good for a few yuks, mostly because they are both four letter words, it does remind us of the...

Classy Groomsmen Gifts
One might wonder why there are so many different shaving utensils, razors, creams, oils and five hundred other options that accompany the tools that remove our stubble on a daily basis. It reminds me of the "one must be civilized" deodorant commercials that Charles Barkley, the Round Mound of...
Pop! Fssst! FOUR!
A wise man once said, "You don't want just any bottle opener out on the course." Truer words have never been spoken. Granted, you can buy cans of beer at the snack shack. And, of course, plastic bottles are readily available from the great looking cart girl, but what...

Swiss...More Than Just Cheese
Who says the Swiss were only good at making a uniquely wonderful flavored cheese that smells like feet? Not even normal feet, we're talking bad feet. Put another check mark next to excellent inventions made by the Swiss. Their Swiss Army Money Clip and Knife in vintage red, and yes,...

"Sliding Into Home - Mug First"
I have always been amazed at spaghetti western saloon-keepers who can slide a mug of beer down the length of a bar counter. How only a few drops of brew spill out of the glass as it passes rummy after rummy until reaching its final destination is truly remarkable. Mr....

Just recently I attended my brother-in-law's bachelor party that was held at an Indian Casino. I had never been to an Indian Casino before and was quite impressed. Who would've thought that under one roof you get could cash your chips in for wampum AND get frosty mug of firewater?...

"Nice Shaft, Buddy"
Phil Mickelson plays golf. I play golf. But the only thing I have in common with Lefty is man-boobs. Don’t know how Phil is able to consistently sink difficult putts with two flesh pendulums swinging to and fro under the influence of gravity, but he does, defying laws of physics...
