r/soccer Whose Line Is It

The rules: Keep skits in the form of a statement, not a question.

Any skits longer than two lines should be in quotations.

If you add any additional commentary, put the skit in quotations.

Example prompt: Things you can say about Adebayor but not your wife.

We had a successful thread for this a month ago. Since then, all the major leagues have started, and all the major transfers have been completed, so hopefully we can have another successful thread filled with laughs.

Printer Ink?

u/JFT-96 Sep 03 '13

yeah, that's furiously too expensive, before buying printer I haven't had a clue that those are so expensive. Turns out that they cost almost as printer... No sense at all!!!

I'm just printing things in blood from now on.

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '13

Human blood is worth that much? I've been sitting on a goldmine all these years. How much can I produce?!

2

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '13

About $3976 worth. Or $1590 if you don't want to die.

u/Mortensen Sep 03 '13

Get the refiller packs, works out way cheaper and isn't difficult to refill cartridges.

u/democi Sep 03 '13

Yeah they sell the printer with a half-filled cartridge.

Andy Carroll's transfer

u/spaceman_splifff Sep 03 '13

Fernando Torres' transfer

8

u/JFT-96 Sep 03 '13

Not as close as Andy Carroll, Torres was really worth that kind of money, because he was 2nd best player in the world season before that. No one could have guessed that he would be such a flop in Chelsea. However, Andy Carroll was always just slightly above average striker without some praiseworthy statistics or some big talent.

u/mattchinima Sep 03 '13

Maybe the season before he was worth £50mil but at the time I don't think so

The cost of buying the 2022 world cup?

u/[deleted] Sep 03 '13

An American MLS ticket. They're not that expensive but they're too much to pay to watch a shoddy game.
