Humiliated, Never Humbled

TennisTitan took to the courts at the Lincolnshire Tennis Club this morning with a sense of confidence that soon proved unfounded. "Gavonne' toyed with the Titan, imposing his will easily in a 1-6 rout in less time that it took for the Titan to swill down his five cups of coffee. Sensing Titan's increasing despair over his prospects against him, Gavonne proffered an opportunity to improve TT's game by playing simulated points under the watchful eye of wife, June, a tennis pro at the club. Hence, Titan's last half hour of play was tutorial. As Titan left the prestigious North Chicago Club, June was heard to say to the scheduler, "See if we have any room tomorrow in our 9-10 year-old program for the Titan." Gavonne chimed in, "June, dear, Titan is going to the track with me this afternoon, don't expect him to have any money left to pay for lessons."
