“So did you see that new midfielder for the Hawks? How about the foot speed on that kid! Left them for dead. He’s gonna do big things that boy.”
James Harvis And Salvatore Ticco are two mad young AFL fans. James is all about the Bulldogs and Salvatore is a Blues man.
Last night, over a dozen or so well-overdue beverages, they discussed the general state of the game and some of the exciting new prospects.
Reports have started to flow through of a remarkable and unique achievement accomplished by the boys. Apparently, they made it through the entire discussion without calling anyone a “jet”.
According to Simon Parvis, who was seated at the table next to the boys, it became clear very early that something special was happening.
“So yeah when my missus headed off to the bathroom, I did a bit of eavesdropping. The young blokes were talking about a few players. I knew something was up when the fella in the red shirt got through a ten to twelve word sentence without saying ‘jet’. Then the one in the blue shirt replied. Again, it was nowhere to be seen. It was freakish.”
Simon was so shocked by what he was witnessing that he approached the boys to check out if they were ok.
However, the bouncer beat him to it, ejecting the boys on the basis that they must have been so incredibly inebriated that they had simply forgotten to say it.
Fair enough. They must've been pretty close to passing out, really.
