Water Polo Anyone?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Bikes: Some bikes. Hell, they're all the same, ain't they?

My cousin played co-ed water polo in college.

I suspect that they never played hard enough to knock out an eyeball (probably the most gruesome water polo injury I've heard of).

If you want war stories ask polo players about when they've been kicked out/gotten people kicked out of games or tournaments for. Or worst injury they've seen, a college teammate of mine stuck his finger in a guy's eye socket. Same guy got kicked out of a tournament and broke his foot when he kicked a chair halfway across the pool after getting thrown out of a game.
