BY TODD SPLENDRGE - Humor Columnist

One time when I was in first grade, I fell and hurt my shoul- der on the playground. This was the result of Sylvia Armstrong. My bitterness and hatred toward the female species had begun. When I was thirteen, I was asked to the school dance by Margaret Yodachevski, one of the tallest and ugliest things to ever grace the halls of Calvin Coolidge Middle School in Dayton, Ohio. I begrudgingly obliged, but she never showed. I was humiliated. In gym class, at seventeen, I was pitted against Marietta Wilson in wrestling exercises. She, to this day, has been the only female wrestler in Wisconsin history to win state three years in a row. She annihilated me. To make matters worse, when she finally relinquished me from her stranglehold, she pulled down my pants and yelled for the rest of the class to look. At nineteen, I finally managed Tamarack Resort opens a world-class SuperPipe to procure a girlfriend. She was homely, sure, but nice.
