While I rarely golf, I do insist on taking mulligans. A mulligan is what they call taking another shot cuz your first one went ‘thataway.’  The term was invented by Abner Mulligan* who said to his wife one day,

“Yes, Honey, your ass does kinda look big in those jeans.”

Like Abner, I need do-overs about once a day. I would love to have a second chance on a lot of things, particularly at work. It would be fair if you could store them up, like unused vacation days.

It might be  in our future.   After all, we now have–drum roll–TIVO. This is the ultimate do-over machine. Not since sliced bread and $4 lattes has anything meant so much to so many. Some actor mumbling during the movie ala Johnny Depp?  No worries, back ‘er up.  Want to watch SportsCenter and Jon Stewart?…no problem. You CAN WATCH TWO PROGRAMS AT ONCE.

If I owned TIVO, I would increase the price by 10% every six months.

**You didn’t really think Abner Mulligan was real, did you?  Got you.

Ok, Here he is, Abner.

Not again.
