A Russian and an American wrestler were set to square off for the Olympic 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 acknowledgment.

The Russian's back hit the mat with a thud, and the American collapsed on top of him, making 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!"

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." "So," the trainer exclaimed, "that finished him off, did it?" "No, but you'd be amazed how strong you get when you bite your own balls!" Mitch
