Using Humour To Get Your Point Across
Posted by Tom Locke on January 22nd, 2014 filed in Business, Life, Sports ... All SortsWhether it be in business or your personal life, there’s a lot a truth said in jest. And the sports world epitomizes this.
Consider these beauties:
“I have discovered in 20 years of moving around the ball park, that the knowledge of the game is usually in inverse proportion to the price of the seats.”
– Bill Veeck, Chicago White Sox owner
“I won’t know until my barber tells me on Monday.”
– Knute Rockne, when asked why Notre Dame had lost a game
“I learned a long time ago that ‘minor surgery’ is when they do the operation on someone else, not you.”
– Bill Walton, Portland Trial Blazers
And my favourite:
“The only difference between me and General Custer is that Custer didn’t have to watch the game films the day after.”
– Rick Venturi, Northwestern football coach
