A football coach walked into the locker room before a big game, looked
over to his star player and said, "I'm not supposed to let you play
since you failed math, but we really need you in there. So, what I have
to do is ask you a math question, and if you get it right, you can
play."
The player agreed, so the coach looked into his eyes intently and asked,
- "Okay, now concentrate hard and tell me the answer to this: What is
two plus two?"
The player thought for a moment and then answered, "4?"
"Did you say 4?" the coach exclaimed, excited that he had given the right answer.Suddenly, all the other players on the team began screaming, "Come oooooon coach, give him another chance!"
Serbian: Trener jednog americkog srednjoskolskog tima ulazi u svlacionicu pred veoma vaznu utakmicu i kaze najboljem igracu u timu: "Posto si pao iz matematike ne bih smeo da te pustim da igras, ali ovo je veoma vazna utakmica. Zato cu da ti postavim pitanje iz matematike i ako odgovoris tacno, moci ces da igras .... OK, koncentrisi se sad i odgovori - koliko su 2+2 ?"
Igrac je razmisljao za trenutak i onda je odgovorio (nesigurno): "4?"
"Jesi li ti to reko 4 ?" trener se razdrao, vidno uzbudjen i iznenadjen zbog tacnog odgovora.
Svi ostali igraci povikase uglas: "Ma haaaaaaajde treneru, daj mu jos jednu sansu!"
