"OUT" ... OF THEIR MINDS

The old codgers were at it again at the tennis club this morning.

Half of them just can't see the bloody lines and invariable called "out" for serves that were clearly in.

Maybe it's just because I've recently had my eyes refurbished and now have clear vision. After remonstrating with a couple of old dames, I very clearly watched each serve in a game and 4 times out of 6 one of them called "fault" or "out" to balls that were either on the line or just in at the corners. Sheesh!


I think that I'll propose that we have a chalk box like weightlifters use at the server end so that the server can cover the ball with chalk before serving.



What could possibly go wrong?
