I know it's all silly. I thought it was cute that he was using one clause to nullify another. Confession: I thrive on irony.

Disclaimer: I did say he was an idiot, and I didn't take the trouble to carefully note what I would call "the ravings of a loon." Did I miss something? I mean, it's Chuck Norris! Fire meet crowded theater.

Consider the story of "The Pretzel."

An American Olympic wrestler had made it through to the final round, and was about to face the Russian champion. His coach prepared him. "You have a good chance kid, unless he gets you in his special hold that's called The Pretzel. Once he applies The Pretzel, it's all over, no one has ever escaped it."

"Gotcha coach. Watch out for The Pretzel"

The American wrestles the Russian, holding his own, and then the Russian gets him into The Pretzel. The coach, fearing the inevitable, turns and walks away. Suddenly, he hears a blood curdling scream, and turns to see the Russian fly through the air and land on his back, to be pinned by the American.

Later, the wrestler said, "I was OK, but he suddenly put The Pretzel on me, and I thought it was over. Through the pain, I opened my eyes, and I saw a pair of balls -- right in front of me. I gathered all my strength, and bit down hard on those balls."

"And that made the Russian let you go?"

"No, but you'd be surprised how strong you become when you bite yourself in the balls!"

Reading this about Chuck made me think about this story. Hope you liked it.
