The Games People Play

   At the V.A, this week, they played what he called a "stupid game."  He doesn't watch the Tonight Show, Ellen, or any of the  many other television shows which now incorporate such games into their programming on an almost daily basis so is unaware that, stupid as these games may be,  they are a mainstay of today's media entertainment.
    In any case, the players were asked to write down three things about themselves, with two being true and one false. The other players were to guess which was the "lie."
    He wrote:   (1) I liked to play a lot of golf.  (2) I was a scratch golfer. (3) I enjoy watching my grandson play baseball.
     He didn't say how the other players did with their lists, but his was a total failure. Nobody, including the staff members, had even a remote idea of what a scratch golfer was.  Confusion ensued. Stupid game.
