Carl Spangler...
So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking.
.
So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga.
.
So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know."
.
And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness."
.
So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.
============================
.
When the Jays won the world series the commentator said "touch 'em all, Joe", which has a nice ring to it, after Joe Carter hit the winning home run.
.
Later, I saw a show and the commentator, forget his name, said he was being literal, as if Joe could hear him. He really meant make sure to touch all of the bases because Joe was jumping and dancing and waving his arms.

"I foresee the Chinese ruling the world. What are you going to do to stop it? No president of the United States will ever have enough power to stop the Chinese when they want to take over the world."
