Stormy Seas

"How about the best out of three" asked the TennisTitan. "You mean to see who is the better of us two" retorted Rob 'Jersey Bomber' Briscoe upon his arrival at the Tarpon Tennis and Sail Club earlier this week. "Then we better play one set each day to give you more of a chance, ol' man. I thought I'd play some tennis against my 'unctuous uncle' before I set sail with my wife on a cruise to the Caribbean but I don't want to leave you a cripple." But it was the Titan who cruised to a first set victory (6-2) before his 'naughty nephew' sailed to a come from behind (4-6) triumph in set number two. It was the final set, played on the third consecutive day, that told the unhappy tale for the 'bloated blowhard.' The 'Jersey Bomber' being fit and spry dominated from the first ball (2-6) of the third and final set. "Titan, your movement was even more limited than usual. Perhaps you who should live at the 'Snail and Tortoise' Club. Make sure that if you ever go on a cruise that you are never too far from a life boat. And you better be ceratin they have a moving chair lift to get you down the stairs into a life boat if you have done any exercise the previous two days."
