Nassau County chiefs want their residents to kick each other’s balls if they must, but don’t you dare go touching them … tennis balls, that is. Hey, no giggling!
That was pretty much how it sounded when County Executive Laura Curran gave a rundown on how Nassau was going to navigate reopening tennis courts there, and what the new regulations would be when handling one another’s balls. Again … tennis balls.
In fact, you can tell Curran was trying her hardest to get the word “tennis” in there each and every time she mentioned “balls,” but eventually she slipped … and let a free ball run loose in her spiel, saying folks can kick other people’s balls (back over to the owner if they happen to roll on over, is what she meant), but there is to be no touching of said balls!
That got a nice chuckle from the crowd who was listening, and finally … Curran herself cracked up as well. She said she was gonna blush and again made another balls reference that got another giggle from just about everyone.

This is good for my day to day as well...
This would never fly in San Francisco or Key West. There would be riots in the streets.
If Mare Pete is a tennis player, he’s going to be furious about this rule.
“saying folks can kick other people’s balls”
*****
That’s good to know. Roger that.
Democrats are TRYANICAL!!
Total BS.
Who the hell is this jackass to dictate ball handling?
Having rules is bad enough but why did she think having a live press conference on a tennis court was necessary?
Once again Democrats learn the wrong lesson from President Trump. Trump does a daily press briefing and his ratings go up so every politician now believe they have to do daily press briefing.
I generally check the noon news for weather reports (anything bad would be the lead story) For the past month they have had BREAKING NEWS which was nothing more then Governor Newsome giving a briefing. Why at noon, and why do they have to cover the entire thing?
I started to check to see if this was The Babylon Bee, but they are not quite so racy in their satire.
And this isn’t satire even though one would wish it was.
And especially, don’t lick them either!
But that seems to have gone without saying...
I cracked up when I saw that banner on the screen last night.
On a serious note, I wonder about this. Are people who have active cases of Covid-19 really up to getting out and playing a rousing game of tennis?
Johnny Carson, we need you now!
Brings a whole new meaning to “ball tapping”.

This is funny and I enjoyed the humor.
However, there is a serious side to this. At this time every municipality has micromanaged every tennis facility “for the public good”. These do gooders have done much more harm than good IMHO.
I’ll give up my balls when you pry them from my cold dead hands...
Are these the same do-gooders that put in Prohibition?
I thought we got rid of them, but they’re back.
