Current Affairs

Martin Johnson, Richard Hill and Jonny Wilkinson are standing before God at 
the throne to Heaven. 

God looks at them and says I can only grant two of you a place at my side, 
tell me why you believe I should give you one of those places. 

Addressing Johnson first he asks, Why should I pick you? 

Johnson looks God in the eye and states passionately, "and I believe Rugby 
is to be the food of life.  Nothing else brings such unbridled joy to so 
many people from the grim North to the bright lights of Twickenham.  I have 
devoted my life to bring such joy to people who stand in the terraces 
supporting their club and country" 

God looks up and offers Johnson the seat to his left. 

He then turns to Hill, and you Richard, why should you have one of the 
places? 

Hill stands tall and proud, I believe courage, honour and passion are the 
fundamentals to life and I have spent my whole playing career providing a 
living embodiment of these traits". 

God, moved by the passion of the speech offers Hill the final seat to his 
right. 

Finally, he turns to Wilkinson, and you, Jonny, what do you believe? 



"I believe; says Wilkinson, you are in my seat".
