Team Bamma Lamma Loom

WORLD FAMOUS
HE WANTED OUT OF THE CONTRACTILE PAPERS THAT LIMITED
HIS PRESENT EXISTENCE.
HE COACHED BEYOND WELL.
HE TURNED AMATEURS INTO NEAR CLOSE PRO'S: BUT THEY REFUSED TO SHINE
THEY REFUSED TO BE OUTSPOKEN, THEY REFUSED TO ADD THE COHESION THEY NEEDED
TO BE BEST AMONGST THEMSELVES: AND BEST IN THE WORLD THEY WORKED IN.
INSIGHT OF FAILURE HE RECOGNIZED HIS PRESENT POSITION
AND DOUBTED HE COULD
ENCOURAGE THOSE WHO FOLLOWED HIM TO BE BETTER THAN THEY WERE.
HE WANTED OUT OF HIS CONTRACT: BUT A CLAUSE LIMITED HIM FROM ASKING TO LEAVE.
SO HE DEVISED A SCHEME, TO HAVE THE STAFF ASK HIM TO LEAVE.
HE TOLD HIS FRIEND WHAT HE WAS GONNA DO, AND HIS FRIEND ADVISED HIS AGAINST IT.
DAYS AFTER TALKING TO HIS FRIEND, A WOMAN APPROACHED HIM AND ASKED IF SHE AND HER CAMERA CREW COULD FOLLOW HIM AROUND FOR A FEW DAYS TO
DO A DOCUMENTARY ON SUCCESS AND RUGBY. HE ALLOWED THE CREW TO FOLLOW HIM, THE WOMAN KNEW OF HIS PLAN, AND NEVER SPOKE OF IT.
SHE WANTED TO SEE IF HE'D CARRY OUT WHAT HE HAD TOLD HIS FRIEND IN CONFIDENCE, AND HIS FRIEND HAD LEAKED.
WELL THE COACH, ORDERED A TEAM MEETING, AND SAID THEY HAD TO MEET HIM AT A RESTAURANT IN TOWN, TO GO OVER NEW PLANS.
HE ASKED EVERYONE TO ORDER THE SAME THING, " A ROARING hOTTIE" HE SAID IT WAS A SWEET CHICKEN DISH AND IT WOULD COST $25.00 A PLATE.
WELL THE DAY CAME FOR THE TEAM TO MEET AT THE RESTURAUNT, THEY WENT IN AND SAT DOWN. THE COACH CALLED THEM AND TOLD THEM HE'D BE THERE IN 30 MINUTES. HE TOLD THE TEAM CAPTAIN TO ORDER THE "SWEET HOTTIES' AND BY THE TIME THEY'D BE SERVING HE'D BE WALKING THROUGHT THE DOOR.
WELL THE TEAM CAPTAIN ORDERED THE "SWEET HOTTIES" AND THEY SAT DOWN AND WAITED FOR THE COACH.
THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CURTAIN FLOW OPEN AND DANCERS CAME OUT AND GREETED THE TEAM.
THEY WERE MOALO DANCIE' WHILE THEY DANCED WITH THE RELUCTANT TEAM A CAMERA CREW FILMED, AND THE DANCER GAVE
THE TEAM CAPTAIN A LETTER.
HE READ THE LETTER AND IT SAID.

WE'D BE IN FIRST PLACE BY NOW
IF YOU BUNCH OF --------------'S
WOULD DO YOUR DAMN JOB
i QUIT!
