Several chess players had formed the habit of stag- ing daily contests in the lobby and a crowd of people gathered to watch them. The manager, noting that they produced no revenue for the hotel, ordered them cleared out one afternoon. At the height of the resultant hullabaloo, a lady asked, “What’s happened?” That’s when the guest contributed his classic: “It’s nothing, Ma’am, just the manager pulling his chess nuts out of the foyer.” Somebody has defined adolescence as the period when a girl begins to powder and a boy begins to puff. Another says a boy has reached that stage when he knows why a strapless gown must be held up, but doesn’t understand how. 3 2010 ITF SENIORS CUPS COMPETITION (35+ to 55+) held in MEXICO— March 29 to April 3.
