PROGRESSING IN SPORTS:
1. The sport of choice for the urban poor is BASKETBALL
2. The sport of choice for maintenance level employees is BOWLING.
3. The sport of choice for front-line workers is FOOTBALL.
4. The sport of choice for supervisors is BASEBALL.
5. The sport of choice for middle management is TENNIS.
6. The sport of choice for corporate officers is GOLF.
CONCLUSION:
The higher you are in the corporate structure, the smaller your balls become!

Interesting - I also noticed that the further up the line you go the less they have their little pinkies actually in contact with the ball. The same as the work they do. They get more and more out of touch with it.

I don't think I will show this to my hubby: He is middle management supervisor and plays lots of golf, watches lots of baseball, football, and basketball. He used to coach baseball & football for years with the little guys. So I am not really sure where he fits into this lol...he is a mixed breed. He doesn't do the bowling, tennis, ect. thing though AT ALL!!
Now I don't know if you can really say these are analogies but here goes:
Ah, yes, divorce......., from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man's
genitals through his wallet.
-- Robin Williams-
Women complain about premenstrual syndrome but I think of it as the only
time of the month that I can be myself.
-- Roseanne-
Women need a reason to have sex. Men just need a place.
-- Billy Crystal-
You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will give you a look
that says, "My God, you're right! I never would've thought of that!"
-- Sean Connery-
According to a new survey, women say they feel more comfortable undressing
in front of men than they do undressing in front of other women. They say
that women are too judgmental, where, of course, men are just grateful.
-- Robert De Niro-
I am not the boss of my house. I don't know how I lost it. I don't know
when I lost it. I don't think I ever had it. But I've seen the boss's job
and I don't want it.
-- Bill Cosby-
In the last couple of weeks I have seen the ads for the Wonder Bra. Is
that really a problem in this country? Men not paying enough attention to
women's breasts?
-- Hugh Grant-
We have women in the military, but they don't put us in the front lines.
They don't know if we can fight or if we can kill. I think we can. All the
general has to do is walk over to the women and say, "You see the enemy
over there? They say you look fat in those uniforms."
-- Elayne Boosler-
There's a new medical crisis. Doctors are reporting that many men are
having allergic reactions to latex condoms. They say they cause severe
swelling. So what's the problem?
-- Dustin Hoffman-
When the sun comes up, I have morals again.
-- Elizabeth Taylor-
There's very little advice in men's magazines, because men don't think
there's a lot they don't know. Women do. Women want to learn. Men think,
"I know what I'm doing, just show me somebody naked."
-- Jerry Seinfield
If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten.
-- George Clooney-
Instead of getting married again, I'm going to find a woman I don't like
and just give her a house.
-- Rod Stewart-
The problem with the designated driver program is, it's not a desirable
job. But if you ever get sucked into doing it, have fun with it. At the
end of the night, drop them off at the wrong house.
-- Jeff Bridges-
Okee Dokie....am I in trouble now?? I just kinda felt the NEED to smile a little this morning.

The sport analogies really have me concerned. I was in a management position before I retired, and I like playing marbles with my Grandson now.

Very true. I still believe that if more women were in power (they are, but located behind the scenes), there would not be so many wars/strife. MrsPresident would call MrsLeader and chat about the kids, husbands, life in the whitehouse/palace, then get down to business of discussing whats so wrong that one has to take time out of busy days to contact the other. If a compromise cant be reached, then it gets down to the bitchslapping. But most instances that wouldnt happen, since it would probably be resolved over recipe swapping and promises of visits to each other.

bitchslapping.....OMG......I love it!!!!!! Can you see a future world where problems are solved by bitchslapping?? LMAO!!

I confess, I don't understand the point of your post. I believe the topic of this thread is the size balls men like to play with, not what nanastuff may have posted elsewhere. So please, discuss the topic if you choose to participate in the thread.
the size balls men like to play with
I can't believe I just wrote that.

Ummmm, speaking of women:
A man was walking along a California beach deep in prayer. All of a sudden
he said out loud, "Lord grant me one wish."
Suddenly the sky clouded above his head and in a booming voice the Lord
said,
"Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you
one wish."
The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii, so I can drive over anytime I want
to."
The Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the logistics
of that kind of undertaking. The supports required reach the bottom of the
Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! I can do it, but it is hard
for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time
and think of another wish. A wish you think would honour and glorify me."
The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, I've been
married and divorced four times. All of my wives said that I am uncaring and
insensitive. I wish that I could understand women. I want to know how they
feel inside, what they are thinking when they give me the silent treatment,
why they cry, what they mean when they say "nothing" and how I can make a
woman truly happy."
After a few minutes God said, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"
