Pig: What are you watching goat?
Goat: Wimbledon.
Pig: What's Wimbledon?
Goat: This tennis match where the players play on grass.
Pig: Drug legalization is out of control.
Someone once asked ace relief pitcher Tug McGraw whether he preferred grass or artificial turf. He replied “I don’t know. I’ve never smoked artificial turf.”
i played tennisi played on grassthe tennis balls were greenthe shirts and shorts were white-our coach would yell and screambefore each point was playedthe umpire didn’t care too muchfor the moans and groans we made-we had so many giggleswith love and set and matchthat we threw our rackets in the airand jumped the little nets-many years have passedand arthritis has me downi often wonder if i couldplay on grass again
I had a similar thing today. I was taking an excersise class, and the coach told us during knee bends “you guys want to get high.” He was talking about our legs, but that didn’t stop us from cracking jokes.

If they were playing on that type of grass, they wouldn’t be wearing whites. More like tied dyes.

Winning in tennis is half racket and half balls.
