[Paolo S Trinchieri]

A long time ago in a far far place a man by the name of Elroy
was born to an affluent family. The father was an avid golf player
so as a birth gift he gave his new son a set of golf clubs and some
golf balls. The son was to grow to be a prosperous golf player and

A pox upon you! A pox upon you! That was the worst,
most-anti-climactic joke I've ever wasted thirty screens scrolling
though! The fact that I was gullible enough to scroll though so many
