1) Remarkable ineptness? Sheer stoopidity? Your choice....
2) For one freaking stoopid volleyball? What, they only had one ball for state championships? Get another ball and hide the damn thing and pretend you never saw it.
3) Ah! I remembered Chuck Elias telling me that he was gonna start doing volleyball too. Now I know what his job was---"Leatherman". How did you carry him? In one of them papoose thingys like new mommies carry their babies around in?
