The last time I threw a football I was the subject of some truly pitying looks from Chrebet86 the Puking Piney, and then he made it even worse by saying encouraging things like you would to a five year old when I did actually manage to propel the ball further than 15 feet in a vague approximation of the intended direction.
"That's a good effort, you're definitely improving."
"Good job, you're starting to get the hang of it."
Suffice to say I will not be entering into a throwing competition with any of you. I imagine that most members of your local Girl Guides' troop can throw a ball further and with a better spiral than I can.
