World Cup Widows
Dear Wife/ Sweetheart/Girl Friend/ Partner/whomever it may concern,
1.
Between 11 June and 11 July 2010, you should read the sports section of the newspaper so that you are aware of
what is going on regarding the World of Soccer, and that way you will be able to join in the conversations. If you fail
to do this, then you will be looked at in a bad way, or you will be totally ignored. DO NOT complain about not
receiving any atttention.
2.
During the World Cup, the television is mine, at all times, without any exceptions. If you even take a glimpse of the
remote control, you will lose it (your eye).
3.
If you have to pass by in front of the TV during a game, I don't mind, as long as you do it crawling on the floor and
without distracting me.
4.
During the games I will be blind, deaf and mute, unless I require a refill of my drink or something to eat. You are out
of your mind if you expect me to listen to you, open the door, answer the telephone, or pick up the baby that just fell
on the floor....It won't happen.
5.
It would be a goood idea for you to keep at least 2 six packss in the fridge at all times, as well as plenty of things to
niibble on (excluding your body parts), and please do not make any funny faces to my friends when they come over
too watch the games. In return,, you will be allowed to use the TV between 12am and 6am, unless they replay a good
game that I missed during the day.
6.
Please, please, please!! If you see me upset because one of my teams is losing, DO NOT say "get over it, it's only a
game", or "don't worry, they'll win next time"". If you say thhese things, you will only make me angrier aand I will love
you less. Remember, you will never ever know more about football than me and your so called "words of
encouragement"" will only lead to a break up or divorce.
7.
You are welcome to sit with me to watch one game and you can talk to me during halftime but only when the
commercials are on, and only if the half time score is pleasing me. In addition, please note I am sayinng "one" game ;
hence do not use the World Cup as a nice cheesy excuse to "spend time together".
8.
The replays of the goals are very important. I don't care if I have seen them or I haven't seen them, I want to see
them again, Many times.
9.
Tell your friends NOT to have any babies, or any other child related parties or gatherings that requires my
attendance because:
a)) I will not go,
b)) I will not go, and
c)) I will not go.
10.
But, if a friend of mine invites us to his house on a Sunday to watch a game, we will be there in a flash.
11.
The daily World Cup highlights show on TV every night is just as importannt as the games themselves. Do not even
think about saying "but you have already seen this...why don't you change the channel to something we can all
watch?" because, the reply will be, "Refer to Rule #2 of this list".
12.
And finally, please save your expressions such as "Thank God the World Cup is only every 4 years". I am immune to
these words, because before and after this comes the Champions League, Premier League, Italian League, Spanish
League, KPL, FA Cup, Euro Cup, etc.
P//S
By the way if you get stuck on the road call the Police or AAA.
Thank you for your cooperation.
