A Russian and an American wrestler were set to square off for theOlympic Gold Medal. Before the final match, the American wrestler'strainer came to him and said, now, don't forget all the research we've done on this Russian. He'snever lost a match because of this 'Pretzel' hold he has, whateveryou do don't let him get you in this hold! If he does, you'refinished!

The wrestler nodded in acknowledgment.

As the match started, the American and the Russian circled eachother several times, looking for an opening. All of a sudden, theRussian lunged forward, grabbing the American and wrapping him up in the dreaded pretzel hold.

A sigh of disappointment arose from the crowd and the trainer buriedhis face in his hands, for he knew all was lost. He couldn't watchthe inevitable happen. Suddenly, there was a scream, then a cheer from the crowd and the trainerraised his eyes just in time to watch the Russian go flying up inthe air. His back hit the mat with a thud and the American collapsed on top of him making the pin and winning thematch.

The trainer was astounded. When he finally got the American wrestleralone, he asked, how did you ever get out of that hold? No one hasever done it before!

The wrestler answered,well, I was ready to give up when he got mein that hold but at the last moment, I opened my eyes and saw thispair of testicles right in front of my face. I had nothing to lose so with my lastounce of strength I stretched out my neck and bit those babies just as hard as I could.

So, the trainer exclaimed, 'that is what finished him off?!

Not really. You'd be amazed how strong you get when you bite yourown balls.
