Some table tennis humour to loosen you up for some hard learning…
A middle management executive has to take on some sport, by his doctor's orders, so he decides to play table tennis. After a couple of weeks his secretary asks him how he's doing. "It's going fine", the manager says. "When I'm playing and I see the ball speeding towards me, my brain immediately says, 'To the corner! Back hand! To the net! Smash! Go back!'" "Really? What happens then?" the secretary asks. Replies the executive, "Then my body says, 'Who? Me? You must be kidding!"
