stevewin Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 Sorry to be a wet blanket - but always check snopes.com when you get an email like this: None of these quotes originated with the 2004 Olympics in Athens, however — similar lists with somewhat differently-worded entries attributed to other people (and featuring some non-Olympic sports) were circulating as far back as 1999, particularly in Australia during the run-up to the 2000 Olympics in Sydney: We haven't undertaken exhaustive research to determine which — if any — of these entries might actually have been uttered by a real person, but the inclusion of some demonstrably old and apocryphal items (such as the joke about Arnold Palmer) leads us to believe that a good many of them are nothing more than fanciful creations of someone's imagination.
