As the pileup unstacked, the last player up was a centipede. “Did you make that tackle?” an incredulous teammate asked. “Yeah, I’m the one,” answered the innocent-looking defender. “Well, where were you in the first half?” demanded a questioner. “I was in the locker room putting on my shoes,” the centipede replied.
