| Paula Radcliffe |
| 08.28.04 (3:22 am) [edit] |
After seeing Paula Radcliffe quit yet again at the Olympics, this newspaper article came to mind.
"In Olympic Games' historian Bud Greenspan's epic tome '100 Greatest Moments In Olympic History', he relates the tale of Tanzanian John Stephen Akhwari, the last man home in the Mexico City marathon of 1968 - over an hour behind gold medallist Mamo Wolde, of Ethiopia - who entered the stadium with his left leg bloodied and bandaged, wincing with pain at every step. As one scribe put it: "Today we have seen a young African runner who symbolises the finest in human spirit . . . a performance that gives true meaning to sport . . . a performance that lifts sport out of the category of growing men playing at games."
When asked why he did not give up when he had no chance of winning, Akhwari replied: "I don't think you understand. My country did not send me to Mexico City to start the race. They sent me to finish the race."

| 86 years old |

There is nothing worse than a snotty doctor's receptionist who insists you tell her what is wrong in a room full of other patients. I know most of us have experienced this, and I love the way this old guy handled it.
An 86-year-old man walked into a crowded doctor's office. As he approached the desk, the receptionist said, "Yes sir, what are you seeing the doctor for today?"
"There's something wrong with my dick," he replied.
The receptionist became irritated and said, "You shouldn't come into a crowded office and say things like that." "Why not? You asked me what was wrong and I told you," he said.
The receptionist replied, "You've obviously caused some embarrassment in this room full of people. You should have said there is something wrong with your ear or something and then discussed the problem further with the doctor in private."
The man replied, "You shouldn't ask people things in a room full of others, if the answer could embarrass anyone." The man walked out, waited several minutes, and then reentered.
The receptionist smiled smugly and asked, "Yes?" "There's something wrong with my ear," he stated. The receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her advice.
"And what is wrong with your ear, Sir?" "I can't piss out of it," the man replied.

The Olympics has started and my rump is feeling sore due to long periods sat on my arse watching countless boxing matches, swimming events and even the gymastics. By the time the Olympics finish, I'd have put on a few pounds.

| The Swedes |
| 08.02.04 (2:39 am) [edit] |
Check out the picture (nothing unusual to be seen) than read what follows.
In Sweden it is a bit of a custom for the groom to be kidnapped and whisked off somewhere for his stag night, which usually lasts all day and all night rather than the typical British stag night where you all arrange it beforehand go out get drunk and hire a stripper.
The Swedes do it different. The groom has no idea until he gets nabbed. He might be dressed up in something crazy... and go do something funny...and then the fun starts!
This particular guy is a keen sailor and when he was kidnapped for his stag night they pasted a false "skippers-beard" on him and put him at the helm of a 60-foot yacht and let him be skipper for the day...
Much beer and fine food was consumed. But nothing... nasty happened to him at all...
In the evening when they got back on land and were getting cleaned up for the night club... they all had a sauna as is customary in Sweden....
Imagine the groom’s horror when he walked into the sauna where his naked buddies were waiting for him and then to notice that best mate number one had no pubic hair ...
Neither did friend two ...
Nor three ...
Or four...
Now check out the false beard again...........
