Smirks: It Ain’t About Winning


A guy walks into a bar in wearing an Army Football jersey and carrying
a cat that also has an Army jersey on with a little Army helmet on his head
too. The guy says to the bartender, "Can my cat and I watch the Army-
Navy game here? My TV at home broke down and my cat and I always
watch the game together." The bartender replies, "Normally, cats wouldn't
be allowed in my bar, but it's not very busy in here right now, so you and
the cat can have a seat at the end of the bar. But, if there's any trouble
with you or the cat, I'll have to ask you to leave." The guy agrees, and he
and his cat start watching the game. Pretty soon Army manages to kick a
field goal and the excited cat jumps up on the bar, walks all the way down
and gives everyone a high five. The bartender says, "Hey, that's pretty
cool! What does he do for a touchdown?" The guys answers, "I don't
