Ready.........NOW!!

Ever wondered what might happen if all the people in China jumped in the air at the same time? Well, I’m here to tell you that they’ve just bloody done it. It was a conspiracy by the Chinese Government to get the Tibetan athlete Hau Hi Yup eliminated from the Olympic high jump final. The poor geezer’s been training his arse off for four years, leaping over his shed in the mountains and he watched in horror as, after clearing 2m 25cm, the stadium shook and off came the bar. What the Chinese authorities hadn’t banked on though was that, at exactly the same time, the Finnish javelin champion was just about to chuck his spear. The wobble sent his aim out and, in an irony to end all ironies, he ended up impaling the foot of a Chinese steeple chaser over two hundred feet away. That poor chap’s still there as far as I know, pinned to his hurdle. There’s a lesson in there somewhere.
