In honor of the 1984 Olympics' approach, I am posting a joke 
original to C. Lave of U.C.Irvine:


   In the '84 Olympics the mile relay came down to a final 
contest betwen the USA relay team and the Poland relay team.

   A group of USA businessmen, for whom winning was all,
bribed the Polish team not to show up for the event so that
the US team could win by default.

   As it happened, a comparably diligent group of Polish 
businessmen bribed the US team not to show up so that the
Polish team could win by default.

   Everyone got the word about not showing up except one member
of the Polish team, who showed up.

   It was the first ever living example of 

   a single Pole - double throw relay.
