Expect the Unusual When You Don't Expect It

The radio was on this morning as I prepared for lift-off. "Germany has never won an Olympic (ice hockey) game against Canada."

What does a cynic with a disposable razor do? He says: "Oh, no."

The radio, later: "Germany is ahead four to one after two periods."

Oh, no.

Just when I forgot the game was being played: "A shocking loss!"

Germany is not some country foreign to the exciting game of ice hockey. It's long been played there. "Eishockey."

Here come the Germans!
