*Too Long to Proofread
Hells to the yeah man its Friyay and that means we have the wonderful gift of the weekend and the wonders that holds for us. When was the five day work week established? According to my research the first five day work week was instituted by a New England cotton mill that that the Jewish workers would not have to work on the Sabbath. The United States as a whole adopted a maximum 40 hour work week with a two day weekend in 1940. Gosh just think if they started three day weekends back them and we had Friday, Saturday and Sunday off. That would be tight.
Well what are you big plans for the weekend? Honestly I don’t care to know because I will be doing something completely different than you. Tonight I need to travel to the liquor store and pick up whiskey, scotch, vodka, and a box of red wine for Future Mrs. Puckflaps. Oh I totally forgot, we are going to go look at a wedding venue at 3:30 PM Central Standard time, and guess what Future Mrs. Puckflaps said to me? She said, “You don’t have to go.” I said, “are you sure” I had to ask that question as not too seem that I don’t want to go. But Future Mrs. Puckflaps, Future Mrs. Puckflaps’ Mom, and Mr. Puckflaps’ Mom will be doing that work for me.
Once she gets back home I will be cooking a wonderful chicken dish and then I’m going to cozy up on the couch and watch the cardinals while drinking whiskey on the rocks like a man. Update I am not going to the liquor store I am just going to get it delivered off Internet Dot Com.
Then I will be waking up Saturday morning and heading to a golf course to play a round and share in fellowship. The guys and I are very confident that we will be able to absolutely destroy this course, so I think mid 80’s would be a good score for the round. I love golf and it is really the only thing have to look forward to, besides my love Future Mrs. Puckflaps coming home from work. My love. The air that flows through my lungs, the blood that flows through my blood.
Rest of Saturday idk, probably come home and take a nap and then hangout or go drink somewhere. Not too much that because Sunday morning I am once again headed out to an undisclosed course in the greater Memphis area to play another round of golf. I need to play as much as possible in the next two week so when I get to play my dreaded rival Charleston Dave, I win. Other than winning golf is great because you basically just talk shit to each other for 4 to 5 hours, and that’s fun.
Woah this was a really golf heavy one. Let’s talk about a story I ran across for Southwest Airlines the other day. So back in 1992 Herb Kelleher, the CEO of Southwest Airlines, wanted to change the slogan of the company to, “Just Plane Smart.” That’s an awesome slogan, but unfortunately for him the slogan was already taken Stevens Aviation who’s CEO was Kurt Herwald. Usually the much richer Kelleher would deal with the matter with litigation, but the two took a very different approach to deciding who would get the slogan.
The two decided to have an arm wrestling match to decide the winner of the slogan. Please note that Kelleher was 61 and Herwald 33 at the time of the showdown. On March 20, 1992 4,500 people packed into the Dallas Sportatorium to watch, “The Malice in Dallas.” “Smokin” Herb Kelleher made his entrance to the Rocky Theme song and Kurt “Killer” Herwald ran in in a robe and was largely booed.
The match was a best of three series but the first two were staged. The first match Kelleher said he hurt his arm on the way to the match while, hilariously, “Saving a small child.” And got JR Jones who was the 1986 arm wrestling champion to battle for him. Next round was largely the same but Kurt “Killer” Herwald won. So the third and final round would decide who the slogan would go to and Kelleher and Herwald would be going against each other. The two locked hands and went at it for 30 second, and te much younger Kurt “Killer” Herwald was victories and kept his great slogan. The event also raised tens of thousands of dollars for charities. That how this wonderful story ends, what a story.
Alright I’m pooped now and it is after ten and I have literally done zero work. Everyone have a wonderful weekend and be careful out there. Bye everyone.
