Games people play

I remember when I was a kid, my dad disliked people who play mahjong. Someone told him about how a son continued to finish with the game after he was informed that his dad had died.

To add to his displeasure of the game, the father-in-law of my eldest brother (who was too fond of mahjong) once told my dad that those who cannot play mahjong are stupid!

Anyway, people who are obsessed with certain games can be insensitive…a joke from Drive magazine published by AAM:

Tommy got home from his Sunday round of golf later than normal and very tired.

“Bad day at the golf course?” his wife asked.

“Everything was going fine,” he said. “Then Jimmy had a heart attack and died on the 10th hole.”

“Oh that’s awful!”

“For the whole back nine it was hit the ball, drag Jimmy, hit the ball, drag Jimmy.”
