POSH TRADE
Greatest soccer player in the world, David Beckham, has been
traded from the storied Manchester United team in a deal involving more
money than Oracle C.E.O. Larry Ellison could spend transporting an
island from Japan to the California coastline, but still only about a
third of what Nike just agreed to pay a high school kid for wearing
shoes. Strangely, the midfielder and husband of Posh Spice was traded
to the Yankees, where he will assume the center fielder position.
Here's a confused George Steinbrenner:
"I heard this kid's the best in the world and heTagged:
was ready to make a move. I know that over there they call it football
or something, but over here we call football baseball. You don't win
championships without shelling out some cash you know, and I never pass
up an opportunity to pay ridiculous amounts of money getting the best
players off other teams. The kid's gonna be fabulous. It's win win.
Oh, and Gipson, you're fired."
