I was so stupid as a kid. I always worked hard to win sports trophies, although I was terrible at everything. Baseball, soccer, basketball--I was awful at them all.

But then I realized I could just visit sporting goods stores and buy the trophies myself.  Cut out the middleman.

Now it’s great.  I keep a big trophy case in the middle of living room.  By now I’ve grown quite a collection. It’s a great icebreaker. People look at it and exclaim “My God!  Soccer and basketball and--rugby?  Lacrosse? You must be really good!”

I just smile and say, “I like to think so.”
