You can relate to Long John's plight? Really? Now you've got me wondering...

Maybe he should have entered the three legged race. Nice one, Gershon. Terry

He would have had an unfair advantage in the three-legged race, I'm afraid. Great idea, Terry! lol. Happy Weekend, Warrior! :) gw

Well, they had to figure out why such a great hurdler suddenly stumbled. And those media maniacs got to the bottom of it, alright. lol. Thanks, Milt.
