A man has to take on up a sport at the advice of his doctor, so he decides to play tennis.
After a couple of weeks his buddy asks him how he’s doing.
“It’s going fine”, the man says, “When I’m on the court and I see the ball speeding towards me my brain immediately says: “To the corner! Back hand! To the net! Smash! Go back!”
“Then my body says: Who? Me? Don’t talk nonsense!”

Three little boys were bragging about how tough they were.
“I’m so tough,” said the first boy, “that I can wear out a pair of shoes in a week.”
“Well,” said the second little boy, “I’m so tough, I can wear out a pair of jeans in a day.”
“That’s nothing,” said the third boy. “When my parents take me to see my grandma and grandpa, I can wear them out in just one hour.”

I know a guy with the courage—but not always the skills—to tackle any home-repair project. For example, his garage was littered with the pieces of a lawn mower he once tried to fix.
One day his wife found him in the living room, attacking the vacuum cleaner with a screwdriver. “I can’t get this thing to cooperate!” he exclaimed.
His wife replied, “Why don’t you drag it out to the garage and show it the lawn mower?”
