Then I discovered that my iPhone battery was flat and to top it off it was raining outside, so I couldn't play golf.
I went into the kitchen to make coffee and then I remembered that this also needs power, so I sat and talked with my wife for a few hours.

drinking from his farm pond. The
farmer shouts,"Trink nicht die

gesheissen dorten." (Which means:
"Don't drink the water, the cows shit in
it")
The kneeling man shouts back, angrily,
"I'm a Muslim, I don't

English. If you can't speak in the Sacred tongue
of Islam, speak to me in English."
The Jewish farmer replies, "Use two hands,
