" Hey there, Friend and Protector to the Needy, Master of a Giant Screen Plasma Viewer, Boon Companion of my Childhood, whose life I have saved many times, can I come over and watch wimbledon matches online at watchtennisonline.net with you? At your place? In your den? In front of your screen?"
"Yes, of course. I certainly intend to. And it will be more fun if you do. In fact, my wife was suggesting that I invite a bunch of tennis freaks over. Make a party of it, sort of thing."
"What, for the entire two weeks?"
"No, just the finals. I don't think she can put with guests for two weeks."
"No. I wouldn't think she could. But you are going to watch wimbledon matches online all through the tournament, aren't you?"
"Yes, I am."
"Well, I want to watch with you. For the whole two weeks. Tell your wife that I will be no trouble. She won't even know that I am there."
"I'm touched by your desire to watch wimbledon matches online with me, but I have to ask, why?"
"Because you know all sorts of obscure stuff about the tournament and compulsively blurt them out during the game. You did it last year, and I found the information useful in winning bar bets. Sports bar bets. Where the stakes are high, and the bettors even higher."
"You want to watch wimbledon matches online at watchtennisonline.net with me to win bar bets? What kind of... Wait one second. I don't blurt. I have never blurted. I categorically deny being compulsive about anything and unless you can prove your assertion we go no further."
"Okay, I'll prove it. Who has won the most Ladies singles titles?"
"Martina Navratilova. 9 of them. I am compelled to add, however, that those sorts of records are broken into two eras. Pre-1968 and post. The pre-'68 record is held by Helen Wills, 8, and goes back to the early 1920's."
"See what I mean?"
"No. That wasn't blurting. You asked me a question and I answered. That was a complete answer. You asked for data and that is what I gave you. All the data needed. Incomplete data is anathema to me."
"Okay, let's try another one. Do the men and the women compete for equal purses?"
"Yes. They didn't up until 2007. Prior to that men played for a richer purse. Wimbledon and the other majors equalized payments. However, as you watch wimbledon matches online, you will note that the women play 3 set matches as against the 5 the men play. This means that the men work for a lower hourly rate."
"Who holds the most Men's Doubles titles?"
"Gentlemen's Doubles titles. Pre-'68, Reggie and Laurie Doherty, who I presume were brothers. Todd Woodbridge, post '68. Although he did it with two different partners. Now see what you have made me do?"
"What?"
"I've run out of room. I've got to use the phrase watch wimbledon matches online at least twice more. And at least one of hose repetitions has to include the address watchtennisonline.net, and, I have to make sure that I mention that registration with the site brings access to watch upcoming Tennis Matches Online and I have no room.
"Why do you have to repeat watch wimbledon matches online twice more?"
"Sorry. No room."
