More making fun of people
>> Monday
Quick conversation overheard at work between an older guy--let's call him Zebadiah--and, surprisingly, a young guy in his late-20s--let's call him Curly Joe.
Curly Joe: Did you see Tiger pull out that win yesterday?
Zebadiah: You know, I just did catch the end. My brother called me before the 18th hole. I turned it on just in time to see a war dance.
Curly Joe: Oh, yeah.
Zebadiah: You used to never see that in golf.
Curly Joe: Yeah, it used to be a gentleman's game.
Zebadiah: That's why I can't watch pro basketball.
Curly Joe: Oh yeah. That's all pro sports have become. Showboating. ...But that was pretty cool that Tiger's won--what--five in row?
Zebadiah: Yeah, that's Hogan's record, right?
Curly Joe: I think so.
Zebadiah: I remember seeing Hogan in a tournament down in Tuscaloosa when he was just starting out. Now there was a true gentleman. Never cracked as much as a smirk the entire round. And afterwards, he went around the gallery, shaking hands and kissing babies. He posed for a picture with me, and they ran it in the evening edition of The Post. Afterwards, me and my pals played marbles and danced the Charleston all night.
Curly Joe: I can't wait 'til I'm retired so I can work on my swing all day.
Ok, so maybe the last part is a little made-up and comedically lazy on my part. But come on--golf? Too showboaty?
Golf??

Anyone else think that crusty olde Zeb was expecting "white man's" in place of "gentleman's" when Curly Joe responded to "You never used to see that in golf"?
