I was about to turn out my light and go to sleep when SWMBO called from the other room: "Did you see that?"
I obediently padded down the hall and said "What?"
She said a woman from a two-woman bobsled team had just been thrown out of her sled and skidded down the track on her backside.
I asked if the sled had run over her and SWMBO responded "No, she was behind it."
I unfeelingly said "I don't really have any use for the Olympics, winter or summer."
SWMBO responded sharply "Oh, yes, you'll watch 9 months of baseball or football games on television."
. . . . .
After thinking that over, I returned to the fray and said, smartly, "Baseball is the national pastime and I'd certainly rather spend my time with it than to watch a bunch of silly girls fall out of sleds or a bunch of girly-guys use brooms to sweep the ice in front of what they call a stone!"
. . . . .
I know.
I'm going to pay for that.
