Biscuits and Brandy
By Chip Knows All
We are back! Last Sunday I saw the stars of Poplar Creek out in force, sauntering down the fairways, talking mess, being upstanding members. For six hours, the world healed, disease, famine, and prohibition were lifted, ascots were back in style. Par, bogie or triple, who cared, golf was being played again. It was grand, Yes, grand.
The boys, keeping two yards apart, availed themselves of the table service on the patio. Wine and stories flowed. Old yarns spun with new enthusiasms echoed onto the 18th green like in days of old.
Biscuit in his size Bochy Giant’s cap, was a welcomed sight and a harbinger to the normalcy we all hope will soon come. At the southeast table, Cabo Nick was licking his wounds from his latest fleecing, listening to Steve O explain, again, how his match was much closer than the 10 and 8 score indicated.
The heady Sons of Civil Servants were in a lively discussion on the medical advantages of Vitamin V. “A bloody Mary has, like, 20 vitamins and minerals in it. You ask any fireman and they’ll tell you,” stated the impassioned Jim Lambrechts. Brother Marty nodded in agreement.
“Hey. what about the three B’s?, demanded Frankie Moro. Beer. Bourbon and Brandy founded this country. Saint Bernards all over the world have fantastic rescue rates, and they only use brandy. I rest my case.”
The discussion went late into the afternoon with both parties at an impasse. It was agreed upon that this brand of health care is far superior to Dr. Phil or Kaiser. The PCGC HMO requires no co-pay or monthly installments. It only requires over tipping, the strongest medicine of all.
