324 – March Madness Redux

A Tale of Two Teams:

The UCONN Women, still perfect for the last 72 games (an NCAA Record), captured the Big East Championship yesterday with an easy game against the #2 ranked team, the West Virginia Mountaineers. It wasn’t an easy game until about 12 minutes from the end, when UCONN went on a run to put it away. There was never any doubt that they would win the tournament (leading up to the NCAA Tournament coming next week), and we’re proud to have our women be perfect!

The UCONN Men, on the other hand, lost their first round game to St. Johns. A team they’ve beaten before this season. A team NOBODY thought could beat UCONN. Not only did they beat UCONN, they embarrassed them with UCONN losing it’s 4th in a row. Most likely, there will be no post-season play for the men. This year, they’ve played with no enthusiasm, no fire, no determination. They looked like losers.

Either way, I have a team to root for, and a team I hope will be better next year, and… March Madness Has Begun!

On to something funny:

There was this car that was driving very slowly down the highway. A State Trooper pulls it over. "What have I done wrong, officer?" the driver asks.
"You are going 26mph on a major highway. There is a law against that," the officer says to the driver. "You must go at least 50mph."
"But when I turned on the highway, the sign said 26!" the driver replies.
"HA HA HA!" The officer laughs out loud. "That is because this is Interstate 26! The 26 isn't the speed limit!"
The driver leans back in her car seat and the cop sees another woman sitting beside her. She looked as pale as a ghost.
"What happened to her?" the officer asks.
"I don't know, but she has been that way ever since we got off of interstate 160."

A man in a Jaguar passed a mini that had broken down by the side of the road. Being a kindly driver, he stopped and fixed a tow-rope to it and began towing it to the nearest garage.
After 10 minutes of towing, a Porsche passed them at high speed. The Jaguar driver was not going to be outdone by a Porsche, so, forgetting that he had a mini in tow, slammed his foot down and the Jaguar and Porsche indulged in a high-speed race down the road, the Skoda and it's occupant trailing wildly about at the end of the rope frantically trying to attract their attention and failing.
A Police car saw them and gave chase. The Police driver radioed back to Headquarters "Sarge, you'll never believe this, I've just seen a Porsche and a Jaguar neck and neck doing 150 mph - and a bloke in a mini flashing his lights, blowing his horn and trying to overtake them!"

Have a wonderful Hump-Day!
