8/2/10 This Won't Help What People Think Of New Jersey

My friend Bruce runs Kittyhawk Kites down on the Outer Banks, and he often teaches hang-gliding lessons at Jockey's Ridge, and this was his unfortunate experience with a Jersey guy a few weeks ago:  the guy was built well, he certainly worked out, but he was having trouble flying the glider (actually, a lighter touch works much better) and not getting half the distance the rest of his group was getting, so Bruce took him aside and gave him a few pointers, and then when the guy walked back over to his friend, and Bruce clearly heard him say: "Yeah, so that guy knows a lot about hang-gliding, but how much can he bench?"

  2. I'm pretty sure Bruce could wreck that guy.
    Remember the old SNL sketch called "How Much You Bench?". It was a call-in/panel discussion where people would call the show and Chris Farley would answer, "Hello, how much you bench?" Hijinx would ensue.

    i think the guy pictured is "the situation's" cousin, "the predicament"

    I. Don't. Think. So.
