Hi Everybody,
When Mumbai in India was still Bombay, the city fathers gathered one day to figure out how to promote tourism to the city. One member suggested a marathon and quoted successful examples that give great publicity to the respective cities, ie the The New York Marathon, Two Oceans Marathon in Cape Town and the London to Brighton Marathon.
Everyone agreed and the adverts went out. Being a country of over a billion people over a million entries were received. The Bombay traffic chief threw his toys out of the cot, shouting, impossible too many! Then to reduce numbers one member suggested making it open to Indian gentlemen with no left arm. The numbers came down to about 100,000, but were still far too many. Various permutations of missing limbs were proposed but still too many.
Then one bright spark suggested making it open to Indian gentlemen with no testicles. Exactly 500 entries were received and the Bombay traffic chief was ecstatic.
The marathon was on and it was named THE INDIAKNACKERLESS 500.
Goodness gracious,
Andre 40
