How to Disguise an Insult as a Compliment

You see, back when most of us only had 4 channels on TV, Saturday afternoons were a kind of dead zone filled with old movies and ABC’s Wide World of Sports.

The thing that strikes me about Wide World of Sports when I think back on it now is that its “world” was maybe a bit too “wide.” Among the things it labeled as “sports” were billiards trick shot competitions (essentially bar gambling), performances by the Harlem Globetrotters (essentially a multi-person basketball themed juggling act), and Simon Says (no essentially this time; it was literally just some funny old guy leading a group of people in a round of Simon Says).
