XISNE1

My friend who is a fantastic tennis player had XISNE1 on her license plates. For the riddle-impaired... it says Tennis Anyone.
I was thinking today that relationships are much like a good tennis match. The players take turns taking shots or chances. They go back and forth. The ball is in their court half of the time. They sacrifice their body for the good of the game. The grass is sometimes greener on the other side. The spectators watch the game looking from player to player... left to right....right to left....back to player to player... often with their mouths hanging open in amazement. Some people prefer to play in Doubles...which only means there are too many people involved. The most common match is Singles. There's sweating. Cussing. Celebration. Disappointment. And most likely than not, there's a racket. The scoring or points system is unclear and confusing to 99% of the public. Plus the scoring system throws around the word LOVE. I can never remember if the goal is to get LOVE....or get away from it. When you score LOVE... do you win? Soooo.... I must ask, Tennis Anyone?
