Funny (second amendment) Sports Jokes

 Funny jokes about sport are great! These are some of my favourites…

Supplemental Rules for Bowling

If you holler “overs!” before the ball passes the arrows, you get to throw the ball over, unless of course, you get a strike. In which case, you can renege on the “overs”.

When your team is about 10 marks down in the 8th or 9th frame, you can invoke the rule “First Team Through Bowling Wins the Game”, and your team still has a chance.

After a member of the opposing team bowls 4 strikes in a row, he/she must bowl the next 4 frames blindfolded. If he/she continues to strike, his/her shoelaces will be tied together for 2 frames.

When you leave the 10-pin and you know you can’t make the spare, but another member of your team can, invoke the “Designated Bowler” rule.

After you have 4 splits in one game, you may say “Kings X” and take those 4 frames over. However, if you split on the 2nd time around, you accept it. After all, “Fair is Fair”.

If your ball goes in the gutter and jumps back onto the lane, knocking dow pins, by golly, you get them! That’s much harder than to knock them down the conventional way. Good bowling should be recognized.

A ball should be declared dead when you bowl 3 games without a strike. It shall be the owners privilege to decide on the disposition of said dead ball - Burial at Sea, Dropped from an airplane over a live volcano, or a simple burial in the city dump. For a small fee, a league officer can be bribed to deliver a short eulogy.

This is another funny joke I like…

Two fellas are fishing in a boat under a bridge.

One looks up and sees a funeral procession starting across the bridge.

He stands up, takes off his cap, and bows his head.

The procession crosses the bridge and the man puts on his cap, picks up his rod and reel, and continues fishing.

The other guy says, “That was touching. I didn’t know you had it in you.”

The first guy responds, “Well, I guess it was the thing to do - after all, I was married to her for 40 years.”

And finally I like these 10 reasons not to jog…

1. My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She’s 97 now & we don’t know where the heck she is.

2. The only reason I would take up jogging is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

3. I joined a health club last year, spent about 400 bucks. Haven’t lost a pound. Apparently you have to show up.

4. I have to exercise in the morning before my brain figures out what I’m doing.

5. I don’t exercise at all. If God meant us to touch our toes, he would have put them further up our body.

6. I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

7. I have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them.

8. The advantage of exercising every day is that you die healthier.

9. If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country.

10. I don’t jog. It makes the ice jump right out of my glass.

Funny jokes keep us all happy and felling good!

Dealing With Dissent In A Decent Manner
By Martin Sejas

 Earlier this week, an interesting precedent was set in soccer. And it didn’t happen in the big money spinning leagues of Europe, it look place in Australia’s A-League.

On the weekend, Brazilian player Fabiano, who plays for Melbourne Victory was sent off in disgrace for spitting at another player. And rightly so. Such action is not tolerable in society, let alone on the soccer pitch.

However, it’s what happened in the days following the game which set a new precedent. Following his sending off, Fabiano was made to face the league tribunal and at the end of the hearing, he was suspended for a total of 9 weeks. 8 weeks for spitting plus the mandatory 1 week for the red card.

9 weeks for spitting! And given the shortness of the A-League, it basically means that he misses nearly half the season. Not to mention, he’d just arrived in Australia to ply his trade here.

But it was justified. It was also time to take a stance on such despicable acts of dissent. There is no justification possible for spitting at someone else in a tolerant, well-educated society. Unless, we’re living in the stone ages or in warfare (which we are not), such acts cannot be tolerated.

This ruling serves as a lesson to not just Fabiano, but to other young players, especially those from Generation Y who have big egos and think they can dominate the world overnight. I wrote about this in a previous article in relation to Cristiano Ronaldo (”Cristiano Ronaldo: Victim or culprit?”)

However, some soccer critics do not agree with the harshness of the ban handed down to Fabiano. One of them, Jesse Fink, from the The World Game, thinks that it is harshly excessive in comparison with the bans handed down for tackles in rugby league.

But he shouldn’t be making comparisons with a completely different sport whose problems with dangerous tackles is a constant presence and whose levels of tolerance for such offences are very high. What he fails to understand is that the level of respect and conduct required by a soccer player is different from other sports, hence rendering any comparison meaningless and misguided.

Soccer must be played in the right spirit with the right attitude. It is imperative that authorities are able to control the actions of players that could bring the game into disrepute and damage the image of the game worldwide. For this reason, the A-League tribunal and Australian soccer bosses should be congratulated for being brave enough to stand up to such acts and punishing them accordingly.

Your Guide To Making Shooting Safe And Fun!

You Can Overcome Your Fear Of Water And Actually Enjoy It
By Rachel Yoshida

 Doing things on the water is one of the most enjoyable pass times that some people love to partake in during the summer. It does not really matter what part of the country that you live in there is always some body of water to get into whether it is a swimming pool, lake river, or just a creek. There are so many different activities to be enjoyed. Swimming, fishing, skiing, or boating is done all over the place.

What can make water activities not so much fun for some people is when they have a fear of the water. It could be because they had a bad experience with water at some point in their life or it is just in their head. For some people, just the thought of having their head under the surface of water can be terrifying. There is almost nothing that would make them get out of the shallow end of a swimming pool.

Although everyone should be wary and careful when in the water, there is a difference in this and an unnatural fear. An unnatural fear of the water is what can some people to drown even more easily if they fall in over their head on accident because so many times they just panic, become strangled, and can not save them selves. Falling in on accident or being put in an unavoidable situation like a flood is why people should try to come to terms with and overcome their fear.

Usually a fear this traumatizing can not be handled alone. More than likely it will be necessary to have a good swimming instructor and in severe cases possibly some therapy as well. Normally a person can overcome many different phobias if they are at least willing to try and in the end they will often be able to laugh at them selves for ever being so afraid in the first place. Some people even try hypnosis to get over certain fears. Of course, this is not true for everyone because some people have a phobia of water or some other thing they are terrified of and can never get over it.

Once you have mastered your fear of water, you will be able to truly enjoy all of the water activities that everyone else does all of the time without that unnatural fear that has plagued you. Who knows, you might become an expert swimmer or skier. Even scuba diving might not be beyond your capabilities once you have overcome your fear of water.
