[PRCo] Re: THEIR 6TH SUPERBOWL WIN!

[Schneider Fred]

And I recall a friend vacationing in England complaining that not one  
toilet on a train worked.   The guard (we call them conductors) said,  
"Oh, its those soccer fans."   Seems the followers of the sport had  
deliberately wrecked every head on the train.   Explains why certain  
teams have been banned from international competition.   The British,  
in particular, are not liked.   But I suspect that the society has  
become a tad more tolerant of bad behavior in recent years.   fws3
