Dear Winifred; Feb. 23

Advice NOT good!) column

 

Warning; advice given is NOT politically correct!

 

     "Dear Winifred, I coach a team in a parks and recreation basketball league, and some of the guys are showing up drunk for our games and frankly, it makes me very angry.  I feel they owe the other players on the team their best effort, and when they're out there stumbling and almost falling down they're so drunk, I feel like they're slapping everybody else on the team in the face, and it makes me very angry.  Ho would you suggest I handle the situation?  Signed Let Down."

 

     "Dear Let Down, I suggest you grab a cup and join in.  Good god, man, you talk like this is the NBA or something; besides, if it was, the players there understand that the everyone needs to blow off steam every once in a while.  Just because they wait until after the game, usually, before they mainline heroin, or something, and they take precautions; by having a hooker looking out for them by sleeping in the same hotel room.  So they realize it's much more than a game.  But you vinyl siding salesmen or whatever are paying to play, not getting paid, so loosen up there, slick; your team is just a collection of weekend warriors trying to recapture a youth they remember a certain way, but usually the reality goes right over their heads.  Winifred."

Winifred's answer doesn't surprise me. She would take the side of the rule breakers, who should t=be thrown off the team.

Yep, I agree but you know Winifred!

I like how you said "recapture a youth". Trying our best to recapture a time in our life where worries and problems were of no mind. Watching people play basketball drunk would be fun to see.

Personally I'm trying to recapture the time in my life when I made any kind of fricking sense; but no luck so far!
