Furly I have a question about the Olympics

That's because American football is the logical equivalent of driving a car into a wall at 100mph for no apparent reason.

There's something awesome about living in a country that can look at the world's sport and be like, "Nope. We're doin' it this way."

Jelly?

I bet you think the same about using imperial units while the rest of the world just laughs at you.

Actually, yeah. It amuses us to envision them "laughing" all the way to their measurement converters since they all want to do business with us and have to do it our way.

That's the best part. You think it's stupid, yet you do it anyway. Just because we said so.

This is the same amusement I got when I learned that a Mexican aviator taking off from a Mexican airport and then landing in another Mexican airport speaks English. Way back in the 40's, we got the whole world together and were like, "Look, we've decided that all pilots need to do their piloting in English. So, if you want to fly, learn our language. kthanksbye."

And now all pilots use English.
