Female observation on American football:
A bunch of tall, heavy-set blokes running around in coloured spandex
with matching motorcycle helmets. Through acute and exacting scientific
observation, there is no evidence whatsoever of underwear!
How about this true story then: Our local pro football team
is named the Cardinals (after a small red coloured bird with a crested
head); a rival team from the City of Philadelphia is named the Eagles
(after the large bird that symbolizes America. Adult eagles can
have huge wing spans of six or more feet across.) With a big match
coming up, the local television station ran a short "sport
commercial" to generate support for the team by zeroing in
on the Cardinal quarterback at the local zoo standing in front of
the eagle observation cage. Grade school children are assembled
around him eagerly awaiting their hero's words. In the background
eagles are seen roosting and flapping their wings. The handsome,
well-dressed quarterback points to a small sign in front of the
cage which portrays the image of a cardinal. He reads what is on
the sign aloud as the audience reads along: "Cardinals eat
Eagles." The kids are seen bending over and gagging, rolling
their eyes, holding their noses, pointing thumbs down and making
all manner of verbal noises to indicate their reaction to this gross
violation of the natural order. The camera fades as the quarterback
looks somewhat surprised. It just goes to show you can't pull the
wool over these modern kids. SIZE DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
(Either that, or they're vegetarian.)
