Norwegian wrestler
A Russian and a Norwegian wrestler (just happened
to be named Ole) were set to square off for the Olympic
Gold medal.
Before the final match, the Norwegian wrestling coach
came to Ole and said, "Now, don't forget all the research
we've done on this Russian. He's never lost a match

"Whatever you do, do not let him get you in that hold! If

the Russian lunged forward, grabbing Ole and wrapping him

hands, for he knew all was lost. He couldn't watch the
inevitable happen.
Suddenly, there was a scream, then a cheer from the crowd
and the coach raised his eyes just in time to watch the
Russian go flying up in the air. His back hit the mat with a
thud and Ole collapsed on top of him making the pin and
winning the match.
The crowd went crazy. The coach was astounded.
When he finally got his wrestler alone, he asked, "How did
you ever get out of that hold? No one has ever done it before!"
Ole answered, "Vell, I vas ready to give up ven he got me in

dis pair of testicles right in front of my face. I had nuttin' to
lose so wid my last ounce of strength I stretched out my
neck and bit dose babies just as hard as I could."
So the trainer exclaimed, "That's what finished him off!"
"Vel not really. You'd be amazed how strong you get ven you
