Grunt Meters at Wimbledon

   Don't tell Councilman Butler about this one....At Wimbledon, they are cracking down on grunts from the players by using sound meters. Apparently, the audible manifestation of physical exertion known as a "grunt" is offending someone. Maybe it has some sexual connotation that conflicts with family enjoyment of the match.
    Biggest offender....French Open winner and former Russian, Maria Sharapova. There is nothing worse than a gorgeous, six foot two woman grunting  while sweating out a match in front of England's la-de-dahs.
