You know, children, back in the day, when I was much more innocent and happy than I am now, I was asked to describe hurling to an American. Never heard of the sport? It's an Irish sport and probably the most skillful sport in the world. Anyways, after a brief period of silence in which I decided how I would explain the sport as easily as possible to the poor, unknowing man, I spoke and explained that the player was armed with a hurl, which was a piece of wood about the same shape as an executioner's axe, and it served practically the same purpose.
Yes, it was a horrible way to tell someone what the game of hurling was, but it was right in a blunt manner and it was quite funny as well, similar to the review machomuu here has posted. I'm looking from that prospective and I have to admit that the synopsis isn't too bad, because in the end, you want the fastest and easiest explanation to understand, and this is what the folks from Verizon have provided us with.
