Australia vs Russia...... for the gold
A Russian and an Australian wrestler were set
to square off for the Olympic Gold medal. Before
the final match, the Aussie 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. As the
match started, the Aussie and the Russian circled
each other several times, looking for an opening.
All of a sudden, the Russian lunged forward,
grabbing the Aussie and wrapping him up in the
dreaded pretzel hold. A sigh of disappointment
arose from the crowd and the trainer buried his
face in his hands, for he knew all was lost. He
couldn't watch the inevitable happen.
Suddenly, there was a scream, then a cheer from
the crowd and the trainer raised his eyes just in
time to watch the Russian go flying up in the air.
His back hit the mat with a thud and the Aussie
collapsed on top of him making the pin and winning
the match.
The trainer was astounded. When he finally got the
Aussie 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
testicles right in front of my face. 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 is what finished
him off!"
"Not really. You'd be amazed how strong you get
when you bite your own balls."
