For the inept (like me), playing cricket makes you want to smash your brains out with a rusty hammer, it's so dull. What's even worse is that while you're fantasising about ever-more-extreme methods of suicide, the ball goes whizzing past you, and people shout at you for not paying attention. It's also pretty damn boring to watch, but Formula 1 beats it by a pip. Football, or soccer for you Yanks, is usually fairly uneventful. As Lisa says in The Simpsons: 'I watched 300 games; I almost saw a goal!'
'We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.' H.L. Mencken
'False religion' is the ultimate tautology.
'It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.' Mark Twain
'I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.' Abraham Lincoln
