Arthur is 75 years old. He’s played golf every day since his retirement 15 years ago. One day he arrives home looking downcast. “That’s it,” he tells his wife. “I’m giving up golf. My eyesight has become so bad that once I hit the ball I couldn’t see where it went.”
His wife sympathises and makes him a cup of tea. As they sit down she says, “Why don’t you take my brother with you and give it one more try.”
“That’s no good,” sighs Arthur, “your brother is 85. He can’t help.”
“He may be 85,” says the wife, “but his eyesight is perfect.”
So the next day Arthur heads off to the golf course with his brother-in-law. He tees up, takes a mighty swing and squints down the fairway. He turns to the brother-in-law and says, “Did you see the ball?”
“Of course I did! answers the brother-in-law. “I have perfect eyesight.”
Yeah gotta get married so my buttons can get replaced. Are you freaking kidding me?

The MPA ratings changed throughout the years. MPAA dropped the second A in 2019 :Addition of the PG-13 ratingIn the 1980s, complaints about violence and gore in films such as Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Gremlins, both of which received PG ratings, refocused attention on films seen by small children and preteens. According to author Filipa Antunes, this revealed the conundrum of a film that “could not be recommended for all children but also could not be repudiated for all children uniformly,” leading to speculation that the rating system’s PG classification “no longer matched a notion of childhood most parents in America could agree on.” Steven Spielberg, director of Temple of Doom and executive producer of Gremlins, suggested a new intermediate rating between “PG” and “R”. The “PG-13” rating was introduced on July 1, 1984, with the advisory “Parents Are Strongly Cautioned to Give Special Guidance for Attendance of Children Under 13 – Some Material May Be Inappropriate for Young Children”. The first film to be released with this rating was the John Milius war film Red Dawn. In 1985, the wording was simplified to “Parents Strongly Cautioned – Some Material May Be Inappropriate for Children Under 13”. Around the same time, the MPAA won a trademark infringement lawsuit against the producers and distributors of I Spit on Your Grave over a fraudulent application of its R rating to the uncut version of the film and forced its member studios and several other home video distributors to put MPAA ratings on the packaging of MPAA-rated films via a settlement that would come into effect by fall that year.
The ratings used from 1984 to 1990 were:
Rated G: General audiences – All ages admitted.Rated PG: Parental guidance suggested – Some material may not be suitable for children.Rated PG-13: Parents strongly cautioned – Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.Rated R: Restricted – Under 17 requires accompany
Red Dawn couldn’t have made it without Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom leading the way. Because melting nazis in a biblical release of energy is ok, but heaven forbid you rip someone’s still-beating heart out during a pagan sacrifice.

Well, somebody has to tell a golf joke.

“Where did it go?” Arthur asks.
“I don’t remember.”
Until next time.
