No, there are two countries.

Ah... no. I have to admit it's not. Although, if we had elected George
Bush Jr to be Baseball Commissioner instead of President, like he
wanted, then it wouldn't matter much because he can't name more than two
countries.




Football. Is that the game where they pick up the ball in their hands and
run around with it?

Yep, that's the one.

.. Shouldn't it therefore be called 'handball'?

Probably so, but that name is already taken. Too late to change it now.

... We have a
game called 'football' over here - the idea is to hit the ball with your
foot (hence the name).


Yeah, but we had OUR "football" first.

How about basketball? It's just like golf, you put the ball into a hole
from a distance- except that more people can play at once, you don't
have a huge lawn to mow, and you don't need all those funny-looking sticks.
