In the Rough
Knowing that golf “In the rough” originated in green, wet, Scotland, Bryan was somewhat taken aback when he first saw the Arizona version of “In the rough . . .”
Sand Trap
The course had been rated “Challenging” with cautions for the sand trap before the 5th hole–perhaps an understatement . . .
Dry Humor
The Cactus Flower Girls from Tombstone, Arizona made it a point to be at the Stand Up Comedians’ convention in Las Vegas every year. The competition was fierce, and while everyone thought them funny, it was considered rather dry humor.
Humble Beginnings
When the new presidential candidate from Arizona said he came from humble beginnings–a hole in the wall–he wasn’t kidding; however, some doubted his story about being raised by wolves, since they had been declared extinct in Arizona some years before his birth . . .
Thumbs Up
To more than a few, it looked like the Arizona desert was giving the sunset a thumbs up, well done . . .
Waiting for the Big One
Looking forward to retirement, Buddy and Marge had bought an ocean front lot in Arizona through an Internet Real Estate sales site. The lot price had seemed quite reasonable for ocean front property, but when they went to see their new lot, they found it was just desert. The salesman explained that if they had bothered to read the fine print, it had been sold as future ocean front, it wouldn’t be ocean front until California had the “Big One” and fell into the Pacific. That, he explained, might not happen until the next election when Arnold beat Jerry Brown . . .
