Our story begins at the Olympics, specifically the
wrestling event. It is narrowed down to the Famous Russian ,Ivan Podgorny ,or the
American for the gold medal. Before the final match, the
American wrestler's trainer came to him and said, "Now
don't forget all the research we've done on this Russian.
He's never lost a match because of this "pretzel" hold he
has. Whatever you do, don't let him get you in this hold!
If he does, you're finished!"
The wrestler nodded in agreement. Now, to the match: The
American and the Russian circled each other several times
looking for an opening. All of a sudden the Russian lunged
forward, grabbing the American and wrapping him up in the
dreaded pretzel hold!
A sigh of disappointment went up from the crowd, and the
trainer buried his face in his hands for he knew all was
lost. He couldn't watch the ending.
Suddenly there was a horrible scream, and a resounding
cheer from the crowd. The trainer raised his eye just in
time to see Podgorny flying through the air. The Russian's
back hit the mat with a thud, and the American weakly
collapsed on top of him, getting the pin and winning the
match.
The trainer was astounded! When he finally got the American
wrestler alone, he asked, "How did you ever get out of that
hold? No one has ever done it before!"
The wrestler answered, "Well, I was ready to give up when
he got me in that hold, but at the last moment, I opened my
eyes and saw this pair of balls right in front of my face.
I thought I had nothing to lose, so with my last ounce of
strength I stretched out my neck and bit those babies just
as hard as I could.And you'd be amazed how strong you get when
you bite yourself in the balls! |
