A few Coach Bill Jokes and lots of Swim Jokes
1. Coach Bill finds out he has an inoperable brain
tumor. It's so large; they have to do a brain transplant. His doctor
gives him a choice of available brains. There's a jar of webmaster
brains for $10 an ounce, a jar of rocket scientist brains for $15 an
ounce, and a jar of swim coach brains for the sum of $800 an ounce. An
outraged Coach Bill says, "This is a ripoff! How come the swim coach
brains are so expensive?" The doctor replies, "Do you know how many swim
coaches it takes to get an ounce of brains?"
When Coach Bill woke up after surgery, he asked, "Why
are all the blinds drawn?" The doctor answered: "There's a big fire
across the street, and we didn't want you to think the operation was a
failure."
2. Coach Bill was riding back from a swim meet in his
truck when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he
stopped the truck and he got out to investigate.
He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?"
"We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied.
"We have to eat grass." "Well, then, you can come with me to my house and
I'll feed you well," Coach Bill said. "But sir. I have a wife and two
children with me. They are over there, under that tree." "Bring them along,"
Coach Bill replied. Turning to the other poor man, he stated, "You can come
with us, too."
The second man, in a pitiful voice then said, "But sir, I
also have a wife and SIX children with me!" "Bring them all as well," Coach
Bill answered.
They all climbed into the truck, which was no easy task, even for a
truck as large as Coach Bill's. Once underway, one of the poor fellows turned
to Coach Bill and said, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of
us with you."
Coach Bill replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my
place; the grass is almost a foot high."

Laws of Competitive Swimming
UNIVERSAL LAWS AFFECTING COMPETITIVE SWIMMERS
(much like Sir Isaac Newton’s laws of motion)
*Law of Competitive Gravity*
When left unattended, a swimmer will gravitate to the worst technique
possible.
*Law of Inertia*
A swimmer at rest will tend to remain at rest unless acted upon by an
outside force. A swimmer in motion will tend to rest as soon as possible
unless acted upon by an outside force.
*Conservation of Matter*
Matter or Mass can neither be created nor destroyed, except by 11-18 year
old females, when it can magically appear in the most inopportune places and
quantities imaginable.
*Opposition Principle*
When asked to kick rapidly, swimmers tend not to; when told not to kick,
swimmers tend to kick rapidly.
*Space, Time Continuum*
When swimming Breaststroke or Butterfly in practice, swimmers hands are
attracted to the turning wall, each hand at a different speed, at different
times, at different points not in the same plane.
*Laws of Acceleration & Momentum*
The law of acceleration may only apply for 3 minutes after coach reminds
swimmer it is important, then the law of Momentum becomes dominant soon to
be replaced by the law of Inertia.
*Law of Static Levels*
Swimmers will automatically seek their own comfort level and tend to
attract others to so the same.
* Mind over Matter*
The mind can overcome many obstacles during competition but the same does
not usually apply during practices.
*Law of Finite Attraction*
Even after carefully explaining the efficiency and effectiveness of an
ideal stroke rate, within 3 minutes swimmer will invariably lose the ability
to count strokes and think about any related concept. See similar anomaly
under Law of Acceleration.
* Relativity *
The position of the swimmer’s body in relation to the position it is
supposed to be in, may vary up to +or- 100%.
*Vertical and Horizontal Telemetry *
When rotated 90 degrees from the vertical to supine or sublime position,
the brain loses most of its ability to function.
*Historical Principle of Babylon*
Within 3 minutes of the start of coach speaking, the swimmers begin
hearing unrecognizable tongues. See similar anomaly under Law of Finite
Attraction.
*Fluid Mechanics*
The amount of fluids the bladder can retain is directly proportional to
the difficulty of the middle of the current practice set. The same principle
seems to apply to ripping caps and broken goggle straps, but no scientific
evidence connecting the 3 has been documented.
