Don't worry Liam, Mike had his sense of humour frozen off on one of his many trips to the north! JUST KIDDING MIKE!!

Many years ago (notice how most of these stories start with "many years ago"...as if we've all become too smart to repeat these disasters) I played in Elliot Lake Ontario, a wiped out uranium town in Northern Ontario. A hotshot softball team "The Harlem Magicians" came through on tour to do their "Globetrotters" comedy bit and wipe the local ball players off the map. The Magicians themselves got wiped, and as I hung around their bench, I could hear them muttering about not having been beaten in something like 4 years, and that these motherf*****g Canadian miners sure could play ball! Guess they hadn't realized that in Elliot lake, having babies and playing ball were the ONLY pastimes...and the locals were good at both!
