..From the Olympic website:
Did you know this, I didn't........
2500 years ago a slave call-girl from Sardinia named Gaedophamee ..pronounced 'Get-offa'-me,
was attending a great athletic festival in Greece.
This Festival had no name at that time...
In those days the athletes performed naked...believe it or not...
....To prevent unwanted arousal while competing, the men imbibed freely on a special concoction containing saltpeter
before and throughout the variety of events..
At the opening of the Ceremonial Parade Gaedophamee observed the first wave of naked athletic males marching toward her
....and she exclaimed "Oh! Limp Pricks!"......
Over the next two and a half millennia that expression morphed into "Olympics".....
You may never hear the word 'Olympics' again without recalling this new found knowledge......
