A Man and his Wilson Tennis Racquet

A middle-aged man bought a new Wilson Tennis Racquet 

At one point, the ball rolls into some bushes and he goes in to fetch the ball.

There he is confronted by a frog claiming to be a beautiful princess who has been
turned into a frog by a mischievous wizard.  If he will kiss her, the frog assures him, she will revert to her natural princess state and marry him, and they'll both live happily ever after.

The player pockets the frog and returns to the game. 

After a bit, the frog, still inside the player's pocket croaks, "Sir, did you forget about me? I'm this beautiful princess, turned into a frog, if you kiss me . . ." and so forth.

To which she receives the reply, "Dear lady frog, I will be completely honest with you.  I have reached the age at which I would rather have a talking frog than a new wife."
