What do the following games have in common? Badminton, Basketball, Beach Volleyball, Boxing, Cycling, Diving, Field Hockey, Gymnastics, Handball, Fencing, Judo, Rowing, Sailing, Softball, Shooting, Swimming, Table Tennis, Volleyball, and Weightlifting?
They are all part of the 28th Olympiad Games, beginning tomorrow night in Athens, Greece. Your local NBC affiliate will have the Parade of Nations and lighting of the ceremonial flame starting at 8:00 p.m. Eastern. The actual games start on Saturday, except for Soccer and Archery, which have already begun, and seven other sports which will begin later.
For the first time ever, you can watch the Olympics 24/7 as NBC is cranking up all of its franchises to show something from Greece around the clock. Tune in to MSNBC, CNBC, USA, Bravo, Telemundo, or NBC HDTV for the next two weeks. Highlights will still be shown during "prime time" every evening.
What, no golf?

So two older gentlemen are on the links one day and one man mentioned he was
going to see Dr. Taylor, the dentist, in the morning to have a set of dentures
made.
His friend remarked that he had gone to the same dentist for the same thing a couple of years ago.
"Is that so?" remarks the first man. "Did he do a good job?"
"Let me put it this way," says the second man. "I was on the course here yesterday when someone hooked a shot off the tee at the ninth hole just over yonder. That ball must have been going more than a hundred miles per hour when it hit me in the stomach."
"What's that got to do with your dentures?" asks the first man.
"It was the first time in two years my teeth didn't hurt."
