NEW SPORTING EVENT
I see where the Serbians and the Bosnians squared off after the Australian Tennis Open. Plastic dining tables were used as weapons (sports equipment) and a few people were hurt (points scored). I think this opens up a whole new type of event. We can get a double header (twofer) with one game in the arena and one outside. The Palestinians can face off with the Israelies using tube chairs, the Leboneese can challenge the Syrians with plastic cutlery and Zimbabwe can whip the Egyptians with brightly-colored place mats.
This all may sound silly but it is no sillier than the exhibition outside the courts in Australia. Did those nudnicks watch themselves on the evening news? There may even be some who think batting a ball over a net and calling it a game is silly.
Be that as it may, there seems to be a group of people out here who have a short fuse and will fight at the drop of a tennis ball. Like there’s not enough fighting in the real world already.
