I have bored written before of my detestation of the Olympic Games which has now reached a nadir of pseudo religiosity mixed with all too real corruption. None of the (so-called) sports results can be trusted and it beats me quite why so many young men and women waste the best years of their lives trying to win a medal when their 'achievement' will produce raised eyebrows and snorts of derision.
However, as you will all be forced to watch this mega 'snore-a-thon' because it will dominate all the news channels everywhere 24-7, allow me to 0ffer you an intriguing game to play whilst it is on. This game is called 'Spot-a-Willy' and it is confined to the ladies' competition only. I have been provoked to invent this game by an article in this week's 'Speccie' by a lady called Sarah Ditum who reminds us that in this confusing transgender age the Olympic panjandrums have decided that ex-men may now take part in women's competition - yeeeeees, quite! According to Ms. Ditum, two British athletes, formerly men, will indeed be taking part in the games - jolly well done, chaps, er, sorry, I mean, ladies!
Anyway, this is the test I have set you, to try and spot as many willies as you can in the ladies' competitions. This will require maximum concentration and thus you will not have time to waste letting your minds wander into what exactly goes on in the showers after the competition!
David do not despair, watch the womens beach volleyball or the all in womens wrestling in mud.

Good point, Jimmy, the women's volley ball should be a dead give away given the brevity of their, er, briefs!

Better yet, with all the nasty water in Rio, watch and see how many athletes run for the stalls to avoid the cameras.

Oh yes, it could be an entirely separate race and the winner gets a brown medal instead of gold - such fun!

I reckon we could start the search nearer to home. Did you see this?

Not for the faint-hearted.

Why does Caitlyn Jenner have a medal in men's track? The current wisdom is that she was always a woman, even when she was Bruce.

Dom, maybe Bruce did not want to be Caitlyn. That monthly cycle!

Dom,
Jenner, if I recall, was the champion in the decathlon, considered by many to be the crowning glory of Olympic Sports (summer and winter). The ten events emphasize power, speed, and fatigue-resisting endurance. No natural woman could possibly win the men's decathlon if, in fact, her competitors were all natural men. As always, I absolutely mean no disrespect towards women in making such an obvious assertion.

Unless you have replaced the chromosomes in some way you are what you were when you were born. The rest is fantasy.
The girl? on the left of that reference file is one mean looking bloke.

Well, when the head honcho boasts of turning to drugs to enhance his performance, you kinda know what the whole thing's about: -
