Joke of the Day
A man dies and goes to hell.
Once there, he finds that there is a different hell for each country, so he tries to seek out the least painful one.
At the door to German Hell, he is told: "First they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the German devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day."
He does not like the sound of that, so he checks out American Hell, Russian Hell and many more. They are all similarly gruesome. However, at Nigerian Hell a long line of people is waiting to get in. Amazed, he asks, "What do they do here?"
He is told: "First they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the Nigerian devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day."
"But that's the same as the others," says the man. "Why are so many people waiting to get in?"
"Because of the power cuts, the electric chair does not work. The nails were paid for but never supplied, so the bed is comfortable. And the Nigerian devil used to be a civil servant, so he comes in, signs his time sheet and goes back home for private business.

Morning, fellow early birds.
Might get the chance to hit some balls today. Hoping the courts have fully melted and dried.

Morning, Teech.
Husband just busted his arse in the alley behind the house. Guess there’s still ice around. Super thankful he didn’t break his wrist. I’ve seen more than enough of that injury in the court. Makes me woozy just thinking of it.

Hey Grrrl. Y’all warming up any yet?

Warmed up enough for most things to melt. Shadowed areas are still icy. Just went to pour out some de-icer in the alley after husband busted his arse. Worried my new driver will take out all the neighborhood fences on his way out.
How’s the weather there?
