Games People Play

There was a huge debate about the mascots for the Sydney Olympics in 2000.

“I say, it could be Syd, Millie and Olly,” said one enthusiastic guy whose say would be heard

“Oh yes – Syd, the platypus, Millie, the Echidna, and Olly, the Kookaburra!” This guy’s say, too, was heard.

“Nah! Too boring! Syd, the biker, Millie, the biker, and Olly, the biker,” said another. Clearly, they had too many guys whose say would be heard.

Yet another one objected, “Not THREE bikers! We need a bird in there. I suggest Syd, the biker, Millie the biker, and
Olly, the wigeon.”
