There was an Englishman, Irishman and Scotsman in Sydney, determined to see the summer Olympics but unable to get tickets. Undaunted, they decide to sneak in.
The Englishman sees a couple of boys playing with a Frisbee. Taking the Frisbee, he proceeds to the players' entrance. When the guard stops him, he says,
"England, discus." The guard let him in.
The Scotsman sees what the Englishman did and thought he could do something like that. Taking a large stick of wood he found by the side of the wall, he approaches the guard and when challenged says,
"Scotland, javelin."
The Irishman thought, "Hey, this is easy! No problem."
Looking around he spies some barbed-wire. Approaching the entrance he proclaims,
"Ireland, fencing ..."
---------------A Final Thought ...
"Why runners make lousy communists. In a word, individuality. It’s the one characteristic all runners, as different as they are, seem to share … Stick with it. Push yourself. Keep running. And you’ll never lose that wonderful sense of individuality you now enjoy. Right, comrade?"
