Comedy Corner
During a physical examination, a doctor asked a man about his physical-activity level.
The man said he spent three days a week exercising in the outdoors, every week. "Yesterday afternoon was typical; I took a five-hour walk through some pretty rough terrain. I waded along the edge of a lake. I pushed my way through about a mile of brambles. I avoided standing on a snake. I climbed several rocky hills. I took a few leaks behind some big trees. I ran away from an angry mother bear, and then ran away from an equally-angry bull elk. The mental stress of it all left me shattered. At the end, I drank eight beers and a tall glass of Scotch." Amazed by the story, the doctor said, "You must be one hell of an outdoorsman!"
"No," the guy replied, "I'm just a really bad golfer."
