Ice Fishing

The guys from Wisconsin were a little peeved; the International Olympics committee were not going to approve ice fishing as a new Olympic sport.  It didn’t seem fair–curling, all types of skating, the luge, bob sledding and skiing were all ice and snow sports, and the biathlon was just cross country skiing and shooting.  Sure, Jamaica, Egypt, and Dubai were at a bit of a disadvantage for places to practice in the off season, but then that applied to curling, skating, and skiing too.  Besides, what other sport provided fried fish or sushi for snacks after the event . . . ?

Change of Plans

Billie, Tom and Manfred had practiced long and hard for the Olympic bobsled team, but just couldn’t find a fourth player.  Since emigrating from Africa years before, they had come to love their new home and wanted to participate in the bobsled or Luge events to represent their new home.  The feeling was that based on Newtonian physics, their mass, once in motion,  could only help.  Without a team of four though, their application was rejected.  Maybe one of the swimming events?   Manfred promised to get on eBay right away and buy their Speedos.
