I'd like to thank Austin Freeman for my morning pick-me-up today. Of course the reason I needed a pick-me-up was because DC United just insisted on taking entirely too long to dispose of El Salvadorean power LA Firpo as they eventually limped into the Group Stage of the CONCACAF Champion's League.
But getting back to Austin, he told a simple, yet funny story this morning via tweets. It should hit close to home for any of you that have taken a foreign language course in your life. I'm guessing that's most everybody.
Freeman was in Spanish class and had to use the facilities. He then politely asked, in English, to go to the bathroom. This is where he had a disconnect. He had to properly ask in Spanish. Next thing you know he can't go until class is over.
Ok so it's not the greatest story of all time but it made me chuckle as the texts kept coming one after another. I could see myself sitting in 3rd Period German with a full bladder and no where to turn to. And it would have sucked.
Twitter also came up large a couple of days ago with Jessie Sapp started talking about his offers to play overseas. I was wondering where he was going to end up. It sounded like he had 3 offers with one being in Israel. Good Luck to the Mayor of Onion Town.
