Humor: The things they give cars as prizes for nowadays

Was reading this report on the days proceedings in the cricket (on CricInfo) between Sri Lanka and South Africa. Two Sri Lankan batsmen broke all sorts of records with a world record partnership of 624. The country, in gratitude, decided to award them a prize. For their herculean efforts? Well, read on, it appears not…:

That is stumps on day 3. What a day, records being broken. A world record partnership of 624 runs between Jayawardene and Sangakkara, they broke the record when they reached 577. This is also the highest partnership in first class cricket. Jayawardene became the highest scorer for Sri Lanka when he surpassed Jayasuriya’s 340, he finally got out on 374. He is now fourth in the all time list of highest individual innings. South Africa in their second innings are battling on, they are 43 for no loss.

There are some presentations to be given. Cars being presented to Sangakkara and Jayawardene for their remarkable feet. A wonderful gesture

So there you go, it was their “remarkable feet” which made all the difference in their ability to achieve this remarkable feat. And you thought it was all in the batting technique. All those years of batting practice you wasted when coulda been belting out the runs if only you had a good podiatrist.

My 7yo was trying to get his 9yo sister to play a game with him but she said no.
“Ok then,” says he, “I’ll just play it with my imaginary friend.”
He then calls to his brother and asks him to play it with him.

We all get heavier as we get older because there’s a lot more information in our heads. I’m not fat, I’m just really intelligent and my head couldn’t hold any more so it started filling up the rest of me!
