Comedy Ashes quotes: #1 Glenn McGrath’s manboobs

by SixandOut on November 27th, 2006

Maybe this will make a series, or maybe this just won’t be bettered. In Ponting’s post-Brisbane gloat, when discussing Glenn McGrath:

“He had his knockers leading in to this Test match and I know he was keen to prove them wrong”

(emphasis added, from link)

Glenn McGrath’s knockers? Those will be his manboobs from being old and a bit saggy? And he had his knockers… now he doesn’t? Was his sore heel just a ruse to cover the pain of last-minute surgery? And to whom was he proving what wrong? To his boobs? That he didn’t need them? Or to everyone else that he’s not an old granny?

Footnote:

I am fully aware that I have totally taken the quote out of context, nor am I suggesting that Glenn McGrath is is fact a hideous trans-sexual and duly note that he did, in fact, dick* all over us in the first test. And ultimately, it’s not even a very funny joke. But there’s not a lot else to smile about at the moment if you’re an Englishman.

* Assuming he’s had it attached / not had it removed.
