Imagine How He’ll Tumble Around The House

Nadia Comaneci and Bart Conner are the parents of a baby boy:

Dylan Paul was born Saturday, the first child for the gold-medal winning gymnasts.
The 44-year-old Comaneci delivered Dylan by Caesarean section Saturday morning. The delivery room staff created a poster proclaiming the boy a “perfect 10.”

…but the Soviet nurse only gave Nadia a 7.8 on her delivery.

   A while back I said something to some younger co-workers, about a good job done, that was along the lines of “That gets a 10 even from the East German judge”. Talk about blank looks.

   Have you ever seen the east German Women’s Volleyball Team in “Top Secret”? More hair than Bingley and that’s just their underarms. They also sing the national anthem as they present nick with a medal:

   [the East German national anthem]
   All: Hail, hail East Germany
   Land of fruit and grape
   Land where you’ll regret
   If you try to escape
   No matter if you tunnel under
   or take a running jump at the wall
   Forget it, the guards will kill you,
   if the electrified fence doesn’t first.

   (The translation’s a little rough…)
