Dog Training. Most of the choices the dogs made for their book reports are logical. The labrador retriever chose "Catch-22." The terrier, who loves to dig, chose "Journey to the Center of the Earth." The basset hound is doing his on "The Howling." and the shar-pei picked "A Wrinkle in Time." But the dachshund's choice confuses me. Even with the ground-hugging physique, he selected "Wuthering Heights." |

Sports Agency. In my work as a sports agent, I told this athlete she needs to improve if she wants to be well-known. Ironically, in diving you become famous by not making a splash! I got this marathon competitor a sponsorship so he can focus on training. He's going to take the money and run! This sprinter will earn a bonus if he sets a record. Oh, going after some fast money! And I made this guy agree to give me an extra slice of his pay if I negotiated a great contract for him which I did! Ah, you're getting a kickback! |

Look! Up in the sky! It's absurd! It's inane! It's "Malaprop Man"! Malaprop Man! You're a fitness instructor now! Yes, I guide my clients through a program of strength and endurance tanning! Muscle mess is increased with progressively bigger bar bills. And each person has a set heart rot target. I guarantee everybody will end up with a great beached body this summer! Just make sure you're there to roll them back in the water, M-Man! |

I asked people to name a well-known "Frank" who most often comes to mind when they think about you. I never heard singer "Frank Sinatra." Nor did I hear architect "Frank Lloyd Wright." I'll bet people said "Franklin Roosevelt" because of my leadership abilities! No, no, wait! Everybody remembers the home run I hit in softball. I must remind people of baseball hall of famer "Frank Thomas"! Ohh, so close! The "Frank" which comes to mind when people think about you is also found at ballparks! Spring Training. FRANKS! |

Railroad Crossing. It's the last official weekend of the summer, Ernie. For me, summer has always been like a passing train. When I was a kid, both trains and summer went by at a leisurely pace. Ding! Ding! Ding! Now that I'm much older, summer is like a modern bullet train ... it's just a blur that seems to be gone in an instant! |

Gym. Welcome to the gym, guys! Let me show you around. Here we have treadmills and ellipticals for a great cardio workout. This is one of our resistance machines for strength training. These will build and tone your muscles. The rowing machine provides a low-impact workout for both the upper and lower body. Good cardio benefits, too! Any questions about the machines you've seen so far? Just one ... do the candy and soda machines take debit cards, or do we need coins? |

Ernie, let's continue your guru training. Is simplicity in life a pathway to happiness? The guru manual says so, but it seems like there must be more to it than that! Is everything illusory? No, it just seems that way. What would you advise somebody on a question for better self-control? "No" thyself. And what's the most important insight we should always leave people with? Life is like a one-trip salad bar! |

Tabloid Times. Ernie, I need headlines for some articles --- First, the new upscale restaurant in the center city was cited for health code violations. "Fined Dining Downtown." This article says not many people were taken in by the latest gasoline-out-of-water scam. "Fuel Foolery Futile: Fools Few." At spring training, the local baseball club's best starter surprised team brass with a presentation demanding he be traded. "Star Makes Pitch -- Throws Management a Curve." And what about our piece on increasing surveillance by drones? "Pry in the Sky"? |

Shakespeare failed at many jobs prior to becoming a playwright. He was a terrible loan officer and inept dry cleaner. Neither a borrower or a lender be. Out, damned spot I say! He was no good in customer service. The lady doth protest too much, methinks. And he mixed-up flowers as a florist. That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. He tried to hid these career failures on his resume. Personnel Office. You need to be more specific about your work history --- You can't just say "What's past is prologue." |

Football Training Camp. Frank, I hear this new robot can play any position on offense. Is he a good tailback? Yeah, with new battery technology he can run all day! With the antenna raised, he can also be a receiver. And with the spam filter activated, he becomes a great blocker! Can he play quarterback? Of course! He has a scrambler software and a million-dollar arm! |

The horses are off and "Movie Star" take the lead. Here comes "Freight Train" on the rail. Around the bend and down the stretch "Yoge Pose" takes the lead. It might be "Short Circuit" at the wire. No! The winner is "Selfie" in a photo finish! |
