Prayer for the game of life

Richard Cardinal Cushing
blue horizontal bar
DEAR GOD, help me be a good sport in the game of life. I don't ask for an easy place in the lineup. Put me anywhere you need me. I only ask that I can give you 100% of everything I have. If all the hard drives seem to come my way, I thank you for the compliment. Help me to remember that you never send a player more trouble then he can handle with your help…
And help me, Lord, to accept the bad breaks as part of the game. May I always play on the square no matter what others do…Help me study…THE BOOK so I'll know the rules…
Finally, God, if the natural turn of events goes against me and I am benched for sickness or old age, help me accept that as a part of the game, too. Keep me from whimpering that I was framed or that I got a raw deal. And when I finish the final inning, I ask for no laurels; all I want is to believe in my heart, I played as well as I could and that I didn't let you down.
Amen.

Male logic joke

*This is a story which is perfectly logical to all males:*   A wife asks her husband, "Could you please go shopping for me and buy one carton of milk, and if they have eggs, get 6."   A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk.  The wife asks him, "Why the hell did you buy 6 cartons of milk?"   He replied, "They had eggs."

Ted: 10+ Things I Learned Watching Ted with Mark Wahlberg

If called upon, Tom Brady could save the world. Homosexuals like turkey burgers. Thunder is just God's farts. Channing Tatum's index finger can be the topic of girl talk. Women cannot distinguish between the Darth Vader theme and a song from the Notebook. Surprisingly, insulting and talking dirty to the job interviewer can land you the job. Having sex instead of working can lead to a promotion. To party like it was the 80s, you just gotta nail a lot of girls named Stephanie. Don't trust someone on drugs with a knife. A real duck could totally beat up a stuffed bear. However, the stuffed bear can totally beat up a 35-year old human man.
