The other day some pencil-necked geek in tight jeans and a plaid shirt came up to me and said, "Hey Coach, did you know that the 1900 Olympics were the only Olympics ever held without wrestling on the programme?"

I stared at the boy with extreme disdain and retorted, "There were no Olympics in 1900 by virtue of the fact that there was no Olympic wrestling. I don't care what the history books or Wikipedia say. If it doesn't have wrestling, it simply ain't an Olympics; a rifle ain't a rifle unless it has a trigger, otherwise it's just a poorly shaped paper weight. Also in this country it's spelled p-r-o-g-r-a-m."
