    Football is a joke

    　　Francesco Totti knows all about the weight of a captain’s armband．This sense of responsibility inspired the 28-year-old to score his spectacular 100th, Serie A goal．

    　　The goal saved his team．AS Roma, from defeat last Sunday．The amazing 30-meter free kick went in as Roma was losing by 3-1 to Inter Milan and helped secure a draw．

    　　Totti, who captains his national team, Italy, cracked under the pressure during the summer’s Euro 2004 tournament．He was caught spitting at a Danish player during a tough opening match．

    　　“I did not do it on purpose．I was very nervous at the start of the championship, ”he said．“I was under an enormous amount of pressure．”

    　　The incident resulted in a three-match ban and some good jokes．

    　　“Hey, Frankie, where’s Sweden?” a teammate asks Totti about another of Italy’s Group C opponents．

    　　“Within spitting distance of Denmark, ”comes the answer．

    　　Jokes do not bother Totti, for during his entire career people have laughed at him．He even launched a best selling Totti Joke book with all profits going to UNICEF．

    　　At first, the fact that all Italy joked about his Roman accent and lack of intelligence did upset him．

    　　But he learned to laugh with everyone else．“Mainly, it wasn’t a problem for me．I just didn’t like it that the jokes sometimes included my family, ”he said．“Don’t take yourself so seriously and don’t think that what others say about you is true．”

    　　Totti spends most of his free time at home－he views it as a refuge．“I’m lucky My girlfriend doesn’t understand anything about football, so I get a break-from the jokes, too．”

    What is intelligence anyway? When I was in the army I   21        an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against an average of 100, scored 160.

    I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not possibly have scored more than 80. Yet, when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him — and he always   22                it.

    Well, then, suppose my auto-repair man designed questions for some intelligence tests. By every one of them I’d prove myself a   23          . In a world where I have to work with my hands， I’d do poorly.

    Consider my auto-repair man again. He had a habit of telling   24          . One time he said, “Doc, a deaf-and-dumb man   25           some nails. Having entered a store, he put two fingers together on the counter and made         26          movements with the other hand. The clerk brought him a hammer. He shook his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk         27          him some nails. He picked out the right size and left. Well, Doc, the next man who came in was blind. He wanted scissors. How do you suppose he asked for them?” I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers. He burst out laughing and said, “Why, you fool, he used his   28        and asked for them. I’ve been   29           that on all my customers today, but I knew for sure I’d catch you.” “Why is that?” I asked.  “Because you are so goddamned educated, Doc.
