On the anniversary of the day--which hasn't lived in infamy--when the U.S.
declared its entry into World War One, two old stories to carry your day
quickly past this milestone:
A Glasgow guy dies. He's met by a friend, also from Glasgow, who takes him
on a tour. After a while the first guy says, "You know, I didna think that
heaven would be so much like Glasgow."
Says the friend, "It's no heaven."
A man is having an awful day on the Ancient course at St. Andrews. He turns
to his caddie, "I suppose I must be about the worst player you've ever
seen."
Silence. Contemplative chewing motions.
"I said, 'I'm having a bad round, just about the worst you've ever seen, I
suppose."
Silence.
"I said..."
"There's no need to shout. I'm thinking about it."
