    Top 10 List...

    Top ten signs you are in a poorly-run fencing club.

    10 Your coach refers to the conductive vest as a "lame" not a lame '

    9 Your club issued foil comes in a roll and says "Reynolds" on the box.

    8 The ends of the strip butt up against the door to the outside fire escape and an overzealous retreat could result in "plummeting". (based on actual situation - the setup, not the plummeting)

    7 When someone calls the club telephone, the scoring machines ring and flash.

    6 Club dues can be paid in grocery coupons, bus transfers, livestock, or bags of hickory nuts. (To Kill A Mockingbird)

    5 You enter the building and have to maneuver past rolls of barbed wire, chain link and wooden posts.

    4 The inside of your club-issued jacket has "US Mail" stenciled on it.

    3 Your "fencing mask" looks strangely like Casper the Ghost and is held on with a rubber band.

    2 Footwork drills involve pushing your coaches car so he can start it to drive home.

    1 Rather than practice, you write up "top ten" lists.



    I had to do it....

    Nice post, especially for a newbie!
    Think about someone you know of "average" intelligence. Then think that half the world is dumber than that.

    Hey....in case you hadn't noticed, being a fencing coach doesn't pay much.....grocery coupons are always welcome in my class!
