Please, Not the Panzers.

"Today, Titan ol' boy, it was not just the Wehrmacht that did you in. I also brought the Luftwaffe . Such was the hubris displayed by the 'Kraut' Bob Kluge upon his annihilation of the 'egotistical egomaniac' who thought he could play singles against a man who is actually in shape. A rainy morning in Yonkers had turned into a teary afternoon for the 'bloated behemoth' who was outplayed (3-6, 3-6) at Freddolino Park in Northeast Yonkers. Titan managed to remain in both sets through the midway point but faced the unenviable task of a defeating a better conditioned athlete who is wise to TT's game. Herr Kluge no longer gives away points. There was a time not too long ago when 'Kraut' did not have the game or patience to beat a strategist on the other side of the net, even one with limited mobility. But no more! At the matches' conclusion 'Kraut' bellowed at net, "We Germans are the real supermen, meinen freund der Titan. I suggest that the next time we play singles, you not only wear a Superman Hat, but bring that red cape with an 'S' on it too. Perhaps the Luftwaffe would then have a challenge. But then I would bring the tanks.
