Mission:
- Get some throwing practise done with a canoe polo ball. In the absence of the actual game canoe polo, anything that can possibly be linked to the sport is highly attractive to undersigned.
Setting and material:
- A desert, kite surfing beach strip with no wind, i.e. a desert beach strip. One Swedish blonde, one Norwegian, one Brazilian driver (who’s longing for a Formula 1 car, but that’s another story), two Brazilian kite surfing instructors and random Brazilians waiting for some wind.
- One canoe polo ball in fairly good condition and pretty clean still.
Execution:
- Caroline takes out the canoe polo ball and enthusiastically asks the Norwegian if he wants to do some throwing. He agrees, though slightly reluctant. The throwing starts, so far so good.
- The Brazilian driver comes along and joins the game, but commenting right away that it’s a bit strange to just stand there and throw a ball. Not to mention how weird the ball is...
- The two Brazilian kite surfing instructors suddenly see the ball, almost the size of a football (which apparently is close enough to them) and approach the throwing three.
- Like through telepathy and in a synchronized manner, the kite surfing guys and the driver manage to sneak in a foot here and there in the game. A bad throw on purpose which someone needs to save with a foot, a high throw which is easier to play with your head instead and before you know it, the Brazilians have turned the game into this juggling-a-football-in-a-ring kind of game.
- The rest of the activity continues as a football related game only.
Results:
- A dirty, worn out polo ball. Quite a shame but probably not a big deal since it seems like it won’t be used for throwing over here anyways.
- A new shape and colour of a right foot. Conclusion made, that it’s better to stick to the normal, more harmless, sports in the future, like canoe polo, water skiing, telemark skiing, kite surfing, sailing and surfi… sorry, salt water flushing of sinuses. The risk of getting injured when practising these extreme, action sports like football is way too big.
Conclusion:
- Find some Danes or Germans or something if you want to throw a ball. Americans or Aussies might work as well but need a different shape ball for that.
- Buy a football to keep as back-up and pull out once the game seems to transform into something involving your feet.
- Don’t bother trying to get the Brazilians to play any other games than football.
