Trimming the fat...


With the economy on a decline, MSU women's tennis coach Weezy was asked to make some cuts. Here is her initial notes of possible cutbacks:

10) Instead of buying pink t-shirts at $10, purchase white t-shirts at $8 and wash with red socks to make lovely shade of rose.
Savings: $18

9) Take advantage of Famous Footwear’s annual 2 for 1 sale.
Savings: $360

8) Kidnap neighbors felines and brew own form of cat-gut to string racquets.
Savings: $500

7) Sack Lunches
Savings: $225

6) Steal tennis balls from any lab-owner backyard in the Gallatin Valley
Savings: $2,500

5) Use Don Kreitz as only official for home matches
Savings: $2,000

4) Have bake sale during Portland State match
Fundraiser: $50

3) Use glow-in-the-dark balls to save on electric bill
Savings: $5,000

2) Take drug van to all away matches
Savings: $10,000

1) Stay at local KOA for all road matches
Savings: $5,000

Total Savings, including fundraiser = $25,653

Any other suggestions?

I think we can go back into the old uniform bins and find some of Coach Peach's outfits to wear. They might be back in style again. I think that all the girls will have to turn in there new blackberry's they recieved from PF and Christina. It so nice the athletic dept has money to burn!

Okay! First of all, the student athletes all have blackberrys. I am hoping that was a typo! Way to trim the fat all right. And please don't tell me that you were approached to help cut the budget. Hell having you there is cutting the budget in itself. OMG! Once again God Help US!

Hilarious list. I will personally send you the cat at the end of my hall.
