The French, German, and Hungarian fencers are arguing over who is the best in their sport.
The Frenchman pulls out his foil: “I will show you all!” He targets a fly buzzing around, and with one swipe of his blade, the fly falls to the ground, cut neatly in half. The German smiles. He locates another fly, and with two swipes, it falls to the ground, its wings neatly removed. Now it’s the Hungarian’s turn. Lifting his foil, he takes three swipes at a fly, which flutters off, undisturbed. The others laugh, but the Hungarian holds up his hands. “That fly,” he says, “will never procreate again.”

Of course, it's all "the russians screwed up allowing the americans to win" But I think the Americans did a stellar job on their own, even if no one else had screwed up so badly.

Very bland and then they had neon green sneakers. Weird.

It was a dull gray looking color. No red white or blue.
