Didn't Make The Cut


Dear Al:
Yesterday was tryouts for our community flag football team, but I didn't make the cut. I've been playing this game for ages!
I'm a pro! I did make the mistake of tackling a player during the tryouts, but that can happen to anybody when you're all souped-up! Any idea how I can get these kids to change their minds?

Dear Jenkins:
Kids? You must be older than dirt! There's only so many players a team can have on their roster, and if they have their players you're out of luck. Your best bet is to attend the games, because you never know when they might be short a player, then that's your chance to fill in. Just remember one thing, there is no tackling in flag football, at least the way I play it, but if you want an early retirement, keep it up!

Probably a big fat kid like me! I didn't know we could retire at our age!

or he could arrange an unfortunate "accident" that will take one of the other players out of commission.

I think he should just forget about it... Either wish them all the best OR pray for them to lose for not picking him. =P
