Donkey Kong

"Titan, you can't be serious" shrieked Ron 'Michigander' van Dyck in his best John McEnroe voice as the two partners walked to net to congratulate Ron's better half, Joanne 'Canadian Cruncher' Van Dyck and Walt 'Show Me' Klein. Ron being a gracious husband (if not clear thinking tennis player) had agreed to be TT's partner to enable Joanne to play along side of 'Coach' Klein in the second and final set of the morning. The (1-6) result was as inevitable as an Obama promise of jobs in his on going campaign for his (let's hope) one term presidency. "But Ronnie, avoiding the bagel was as precious to me as was the 'Cruncher' and I holding on for our (6-4) victory over you and that 'Missouri Mule' in the opening set" declared a euphoric Titan. "No bagel for me!" To wit the 'Canadian Cruncher' chortled, "Titan you don't know 'jack!' It's like you're the pot calling the kettle black. You calling Walt a 'mule', when every tennis player on the island knows that you are the 'ass!'
