Speedy Morris

Speedy Morris was the basketball coach at LaSalle and they
were having a pretty good season. One morning, he was
shaving and the phone rang. His wife answered it and called
out to him that Sports Illustrated wanted to talk to him.

Coach Morris was excited that his team was apparently about
to receive national recognition in this famous sports
magazine. As a matter of fact, he was so excited that he
cut himself with his razor.

Covered with blood and shaving lather and running downstairs
to the phone, he tripped and fell down the stairs. Finally,
bleeding and bruised, he made it to the phone and breath-
lessly said, "Hello"?

The voice on the other end asked, "Is this Speedy Morris"?

"Yes, yes!" he replied excitedly.

Then the voice continued, "Mr. Morris, for just seventy-five
cents an issue, we can give you a one-year subscription to
Sports Illustrated."
