A German wrestling champion perfected what he called the
“Pretzel Hold.” This hold was famous for incapacitating
anyone on whom he would apply the hold.A huge match against
the American Wrestling Champion was scheduled to begin
shortly, and as the american and his coach were preparing,
the American’s coach set him down to talk.”Bill,” he said,
“whatever you do, don’t let the German throw that awful
pretzel hold on you; you might not survive it.”Sure thing,
Coach,” the American replied.The match began and as soon as
the bell sounded, the German ran across the ring and immediately
threw the American into the dreaded pretzel hold!The coach was
frantic! He ran around the ring and finally found a towel to
throw in to stop the match, when to his amazement, the American
was up and wrestling again! The match went on and the American
was victorious.Afterwards, the coach had to ask, “Bill, how in
the hell did you get out of that pretzel hold? Nobody has ever
gotten out of that hold!”Bill replies, “Well Coach, when I was all
tangled up with that German, I saw this pair of balls hanging in
front of my face, so I just bit down on them with all my might and
you know, it’s amazing how fast you can move
when you bite your own balls!”
