How Olympics got it’s name
The queen of Sardinia, named Gedophamee (pronounced Get-off-me), was attending a great but as yet unnamed athletic festival 2,500 years ago in Greece.
In those days, believe me, the athletes performed naked.
To prevent unwanted arousal while competing, the men imbibed freely on a drink containing salt petre before and throughout all of the events.
At the opening ceremonial parade, Gedophamee observed the first wave of naked magnificent males marching toward her and she exclaimed "Oh! limp pricks!" (those days the Greek did speak English ).
Over the next two and a half millennia that morphed into *"Olympics"*
Just thought I'd share this profound knowledge, in case you didn't know, how the word Olympics was coined ...

I thought they would try to ban Mel Gibson for trying to topple the Overlords?
