The IRS sends their auditor to audit a synagogue.
 
The auditor is doing all the checks, and then turns to the Rabbi and says, “I noticed that you buy a lot of candles.”
  
“Yes,” answered the Rabbi.
 
“Well, Rabbi, what do you do with the candle drippings?” he asked.
 
 “A good question,” noted the Rabbi. “We actually save them up. When we have enough, we send them back to the candle maker and every now and then, they send us a free box of candles.”
 
“Oh,” replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his question actually had a practical answer. 
 
 So, he thought he’d try another question, in his obnoxious way. “Rabbi, what
about all these matzo purchases? What do you do with the crumbs from the matzo?
 
“Ah, yes,” replied the Rabbi calmly, “we actually collect up the crumbs, we send them in a box back to the manufacturer and every now and then, they send a box of matzo balls.”
 
“Oh,” replied the auditor, thinking hard how to fluster the Rabbi. “Well, Rabbi,” he went on, “what do you do with all the foreskins from the circumcisions?”
 
“Yes, here too, we do not waste,” answered the Rabbi. 
 
“What we do is save up all the foreskins, and when we have enough, we actually send them to the IRS.”
 
“To the IRS ?” questioned the auditor in disbelief.
 
“Ah, yes,” replied the Rabbi, “directly to The IRS …And, about once a year, they send us a little prick like you.”

Pearland out 7-1 great run for those kids

Ms. Griner,
 
We hope this letter finds you in good health and we understand you are having some rough times in your life. We are a group of old Vietnam Combat veterans from North Carolina. Our average age is around seventy years old. We call ourselves The Bunker Boys. We spent a lot of time living in rat and snake infested holes in the ground known as Bunkers. When we were not in the bunkers, we were crawling through the jungle being shot at and shooting back at little people wearing black pajamas.
 
We must be honest and tell you that the only thing we may have in common with you, is that we too, were drafted. We noticed you were drafted number one in the WNBA draft a few years ago. Since we all were drafted, we thought we might let you know what it was like when we were drafted. Unlike you, most of us had no college. The people of the United States drafted us. We consisted of all colors, religions and personal beliefs. We had no choice of which team we played for, Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard or Marines. We were sent halfway around the world to fight and kill people we didn't know in a place we had never heard of. We were paid, we know you can relate to this, $3.00 a day and required to work 24 hours a day if needed.
 
When we returned home, many or most of us were treated very badly by our fellow Americans. We were spit on, hit by bottles and rocks as the police stood by and watched. We did not complain, we just continued on in life and made the best of it. We fought for God, family, country and of course, the Flag and the National Anthem; a poem that was written by, of all people, a lawyer. He wrote the poem as he watched bombs fall on and kill fellow Americans. Ever since that night, our nation has played that little poem before millions of social functions. For some people it's just a little song. For a Veteran, it is a reminder of how many men and women of all colors, have given their life so the rest can have the right to be free.
 
We found in our research that you requested the National Anthem not be played at sporting events. We find it odd that now you are requesting the citizens of the United States to pay for your release from a jail in Russia. Yes, we the taxpayers are paying for all of those diplomats working on your release. Our government told you, and all fellow Americans in Russia, to leave Russia after the invasion of the Ukraine. You play basketball in a country that is known to treat Americans badly.
 
You fly a great deal and must know by now, all the rules of what one can bring into a country. All of us that travel know the rules for entering a foreign country. You are a guest and must go by the rules of the land. By your own admission, you were attempting to bring an illegal substance into a country that is known for its long prison sentences. You had to know this because you are making millions dollars a year to play a game and hold a college degree. At six feet nine inches tall, you know that security officers are going to focus on you from the moment you stand in the boarding pass line. We also noticed that you are now saying you placed the drugs in your luggage by accident. Please, that is something an 18-year-old would say.
 
We also found out that your net worth is somewhere around $5 million bucks for playing a game. For old guys like us, living on a fixed income, that's a lot of money for just playing a game. Don't get us wrong; we are not against you. We all went and fought so all Americans can have the freedom to make their own choices. We just hope the next time you have to endure the playing of that little poem; you will pay close attention to the "Land of the free" part.
 
And maybe, just maybe, the Russians will give her snake hair a badly needed haircut.

Anyone can be a Father, but it takes a special person to be a 
DADDY
Happy Father's Day to all Daddys

Amendment approved:
The Legislative Council approved an amendment to the reclassification and realignment policy as it relates to the conference placement of UIL member charter schools. The language will allow UIL staff the option to place charter schools as much as one conference above the conference for which their enrollment qualifies
 
In short, UIL now has the option to force charter schools like Faith Family to play at least one classification up from their enrollment size.

Somebody owns stock in a shot clock company.  😳
If our freshmen couldn't play varsity, then we wouldn't have a team.  Nonsense.  Also the freshmen wouldn't have a team.

Was with TxHoops when we first met at the Evadale gym.  What amazed me, with all the people you come in contact with, you still remembered me years later.  So drink enough cold ones to kill a few “grey cells”, you have plenty.  

Kudos to you and Todd for making this site the “go to” place for SETX information.  I’ve spent, and continue to spend, countless hours on here, enjoying myself, and the great folks I’ve met here.
So enjoy yourself.  Wishing you and Mrs AAW all the best.

Finally, somebody in the area wins.  Fantastic

Thanks so much for all you have done for this place.  You will be missed for sure.  Enjoy retirement and best of luck going forward.  I miss da warden too
Bob 

Aggie before we go I want to say we appreciate you and what you have done this weekend and thanks

Duncanville can out recruit Faith Family 

All Faith Family will do now is go pick up two more big time recruits and be even better next year and win it all again.

Finally, somebody in the area wins.  Fantastic

Great season cats

Wrong at just shutting down small school.  They are usually the backbone of the community.  Some great kids have come out of small schools.

Our new coach is a former Leggett standout RaShod Jefferson.  Well versed in basketball and baseball.  We think he will be good with these kids.   Wish him luck
