    2. Olympics

    During the 2004 Olympics, three college buddies from the USA decide to meet in Athens to watch the games. The first buddy was from New York, the second from Chicago, and the third was from Montgomery.

    When they got to the games their hopes were dashed. All of the tickets were sold out! They were going to miss out on an historic event.

    Then they noticed a side gate where the Olympic athletes were entering the stadium. They edged closer and listened as the athletes conversed with the security guard at the entrance.

    What Country Are You From? - "Greece."
    What Event? The athlete held up his bow and answered "archery."

    The guard waved him in.

    The guy from New York, who was the smartest of the three, got an idea. He went to a Second World War memorial across the street and came back with a cannonball. The guard put him through the same drill as the athletes.

    What Country Are You From? - "United States."
    Event? He held up the cannonball. "shot put."

    The guard waved him through.

    The guy from Chicago, who was almost as smart, caught on immediately. He went out into the street and came back with a manhole cover.

    What Country Are You From? - "United States."
    Event? He held up the manhole cover. "diskus."

    The guard waved him through.

    The guy from Montgomery thought a little longer, but finally figured out what the other two were doing. He went to a nearby farmer's field and returned dragging 50 feet of barbed wire.

    What Country Are You From? - "United States."
    Event? He showed the guard the barbed wire. "fencing."
