The Big Game!!!
Posted: Tue Mar 13, 2007 5:51 pm
Yoli here, with an oldie but extremely goodie (due to mental imagery) that I heard at the office.
The small college, East Popcorn A&M, had a winning team for the first time in school history. This was due to the heroics of young Mr. Peters, who was a triple-threat par excellence. He could run, pass, catch, even kick.
Excitement ran high on campus, in the small college town, and worldwide among the alumni, when it was announced that the team had been selected to play in a BOWL GAME, in recognition of their undefeated season.
Disaster struck when young Master Peters, their bright and shining hope, broke his left leg when, so rumor has it, he was making a hasty emergency exit from the women's dorm...out the window of the head cheerleaders room, and well past team bedcheck at that.
The next day, only three days prior to kickoff, the faithful were stunned to learn the devastating news via the headline in the campus paper. Before the word got out, however, the college dean was truly stunned as he read; "Team Will Play Without Peters" on the draft copy submitted for approval by the paper's staff.
Summoning the student editor-in-chief, the older and wiser man instructed the EIC to change the headline so as not to cause much merriment and ridicule on the part of the opponent's supporters.
So, the next day, the issue hit the stands, bearing the improved version....(Please scroll down.)

.Team To Play With Peters Out!!!
The latest bulletin from the asylum states that the dean is slowly responding to treatment.
The game, by the way, was a sellout.
Mmmmmm...wish I'd been there!
Love,
Yoli
