A Russian and an Irish wrestler were set  to square off for the Olympic gold medal. Before the final match, the Irish  wrestler's trainer came to him and said 'Now, don't forget all the research  we've done on this Russian. He's  never lost a match because of this 'pretzel' hold he has. Whatever you do, do  not let him get you in that hold! If he does, you're finished.'

The  Irishman nodded in acknowledgment.

As the match started, the Irishman and  the Russian circled each other several times, looking for an opening. All of a  sudden, the Russian lunged forward, grabbing the Irishman and wrapping him up in  the dreaded pretzel hold. A sigh of disappointment arose from the crowd and the  trainer buried his face in his hands, for he knew all was lost. He couldn't watch the inevitable  happen.

Suddenly, there was a Long, High Pitched Scream, then a cheer  from the crowd and the trainer raised his eyes just in time to watch the Russian  go flying up in the air. His back hit the mat with a thud and the Irishman  collapsed on top of him, making the pin and winning the match.

The  trainer was astounded. When he finally got his wrestler alone, he asked 'How did  you ever get out of that hold? No one has ever done it before!'

The  wrestler answered 'Well, I was ready to give up when he got me in that hold but  at the last moment, I opened my eyes and saw this pair of testicles right in  front of my face. I had nothing to lose so with my last ounce of strength, I  stretched out my neck and bit those babies just as hard as I could.'

The  trainer exclaimed 'That's what finished him off?'
