A Snicker Fest

"Titan, that was easier than trap shooting" exclaimed Rich 'Prezidente' Prezioso at the completion of the third set at Law Memorial park in Briar Cliff Manor this afternoon. 'Prez,' this was your triple crown" retorted the 'boisterous blowhard.' "Bulltrap!, responded Dave 'Whirling Dervish' McDonald, "Prez, your triple crown is that rye whiskey you keep in your liquor cabinet. I haven't picked up a racket in eight years, and your three victories against me is supposed to be some kind of achievement?" "Easy, Dave, interjected Frank 'Slats' Slattery. "Prez hit 25 out of 25 clay pigeons recently in his trap shooting club, and he wants to count you as number 26, 27, and 28. "Yeah, Dave, in all my years of playing against/with Prez he's never come out on top in all three sets. Cut him some slack!" Our (6-1, 6-2) defeat of you and the 'coddling counselor' was not that difficult of an accomplishment." "And I suppose, Titan, your winning three games with Dave (3-6) as your partner against me and 'Prez," sighed an exasperated 'Slats,' is something to be proud of?" "Nah, not really, Frankie. What is most rewarding is seeing all that sweat on your shirt after the match knowing that I was responsible for almost all of it and that Patsy is only going to add to it when you walk in the door."
