There is something unnatural about Americans playing this "game."  It's 
not a real sport like baseball, basketball, and football.  In my 
hometown, it was a game for girls and all of the girls who played were 
built like Kenmore three-door refrigerators held up by Converse-shod 
tree trunks.

That and men's volleyball as a "professional sport."  It's a sick world 
out there.
