Yesterday in Beijing, American swimmer Michael Phelps made history by winning his 10th and 11th gold medals. That happens to be more than any other Olympian since Jesus. Even better, he did it with a leaky pair of goggles.
According to People:
“I couldn't see anything for the last 100 [meters],“ Phelps said afterward. “It just kept getting worse and worse through the race.“
Although there’s no excuse for traveling across the world to swim for your country only to discover you packed a pair of goggles from the Dollar Tree, Phelps, in typical porn star fashion, didn’t let any shot in the eye keep him down.
Phelps was also quoted as saying, “for the circumstances, I guess it’s not too bad.” I fully support Phelps and his choice of goggles, but way to downplay hundreds of years of people sucking more than you at swimming.
In other news, last night I was arrested for possession of crack even though I have a room full of weed growing in the basement. So it wasn't too bad for the circumstances either.
