Yesterday in P.E. we played tug of war...BOYS vs. GIRLS. Who do you think won? If you were thinking boys, you're wrong. You see, it wasn't a regular game of tug o' war. Instead of the grass, we had a basketball court. You can imagine how slippery that was.
We had two more people than them. They claim thats why we won - thats typical boy behavior...excuses, excuses.
Its not that we were stronger than them(maybe we were), its that we were smarter. We gathered in the back of the rope, had one heavy, strong girl as anchor, some walked backwards, and we spit on our shoes to keep from sliding.
Some may call that cheating, we call it war tactics.

How did spitting on your shoes prevent sliding? Seems like it would do just the opposite. Apparently it worked!
I think that kicks major buttocks. It is also called "weakling-junior-high-boy-syndrome." It is the saddest time in a young male's life when the girl he has a crush on can whip him like a puppy poopin' on the carpet.
It is also the time in the boy's life where there is what I call a "upgrading" period. It explains the vacant area where there used to dwell a facial expression and the lack of a fully functioning brain that used to provide one. Right now their little computer is all tied up waiting on the new operating system, so they are left with a blue screen and very little to say that isn't close to mental retardation.
Seth - I've never heard it described that way, but...oh yeah, you're right about the blue screen effect.
Mer - you're not competitive - are you? Maybe you could get into a kind of Math Tug-0-War with the other kids in your class. (you make me laugh..)
Mrs. Popcorn - I thought the same thing but, it did work!
Seth - You couldn't be more right....did I just say that?
Momma - I know, I'll be here until Saturday.
Yeah I can see how that would work, kinda like licking your finger to get a better grip on some book pages.
The lack of a fully functioning brain among adolescent boys is typically caused by insufficient blood flow to that part of the body.
