Riches. Fame. Glamor. Mammon.
If you want all of the above, send me $1000 for the correspondence course that will surely be your ticket to a life of all things Prada.
The course? "Be an Olympic Announcer in One Easy Lesson."
Want to announce diving? Learn the phrases you need to know:
"She nailed it."
"Ooooo, she came a little over."
"No splash on that one, Bob."
Want to announce gymnastics? I'll teach you how to say:
"She stuck the dismount!"
"That little hop will cost her some points."
"She's been coached by the big Romanian practically since she was in diapers."
And don't forget to watch the "dismount with the feet together." These terms are used in diving, gymnastics, and in jail breakouts...
