WALKING ON THE GRASS. . .

WALKING ON THE GRASS

 

The room was full of pregnant women with their husbands.

 

The instructor said, "Ladies, remember that exercise is good for you. Walking is especially beneficial.

 

It strengthens the pelvic muscles and will make delivery that much easier.

 

Just pace yourself, make plenty of stops and try to stay on a soft surface like grass or a path."

 

"Gentlemen, remember -- you're in this together. It wouldn't hurt you to go walking with her.

 

In fact, that shared experience would be good for you both."

 

The room suddenly became very quiet as the men absorbed this information.

 

After a few moments a man, name unknown, at the back of the room, slowly raised his hand.

 

"Yes?" said the Instructor. . . .

 

 

 

"I was just wondering if it would be all right, if she carries a golf bag ?

 

Brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?

 

This level of sensitivity can't be taught.

I thought that you were not allowed to walk on the grass. I distinctly remember seeing signs all over the place saying "keep off the grass" and when I lived in England it was usually too wet for you to want to be on the grass.

I wish half my clients would heed the "keep off the grass" message, Yenn!

On a similar theme,. . at the tennis club recently,. . .I was asked if I preferred Astro turf, or grass,. . . . I replied that I'd never smoked astro turf. . .

It would give you one hell of a headache if you did!

Near 40 years ago there was a picture of my aprox 20 year old older Brother with his hair down to his hips standing (intentionally) in front of a "Keep Off The Grass" sign that we all thought was hilarious, now nearly 60 and still alive despite being a smacko for all that time, well doesn't seem so amusing now.
