I’m a devoted fan of many televised sports, but I very rarely watch bowling. Really.
But tonight – well, let’s just say it happened to be on for a few minutes. It was some sort of team bowling tournament. I looked up at the screen and saw some grizzled veteran being interviewed prior to an important match. It went like this:
Interviewer: What does your team need to focus on in order to win today’s match?
Bowler: We need to focus on making strikes. We need to make a lot of strikes.
Interviewer: Thank you for your time.
Who knew bowling was such an intellectual, chess-like pursuit?
