Why God Made Pubs and Mates?

"What's this?"
"The football"
"What football?"
"It's Italy against France!"
"Do you really expect me to watch this?"
"It's an important game..."
"Really?"
"Yeah...they were both in the World Cup Final two years ago - and now both of them could go out tonight. It should be a great match..."

PAUSE

"Come on, this is like me making you watch the ballet."
"No, it's not. It's nothing like that."
"It's exactly like that."

SILENCE.

BATTLE FOR REMOTE - WON.
ANY BROWNIE POINTS RECENTLY ACQUIRED - LOST. OH, SO LOST...
