I need my ear-wax cleared out, or something... but...

After all these days of eventually mind-numbing Olympic coverage, humour has to be part of the event, too.

A TV commentator for a Men's Gymnastic event at the Beijing Olympics just said something about a somewhat wayward (directionally challenged) male competitor needing "?????al control".

I commented to my wife that the comment must have been either "retinal control" or "rectal control".

She had heard it correctly: "directional control".
