    Hey, there, Timmy.

    Holy mackerel, mister. You scared the jeepers out of me.

    How'd you like to take a break from that fine lead-based paint,

    and learn about dodgeball?

    Boy, would I.

    - Where am I, mister? - You're in a Chinese opium den, Timmy.

    This is where the sport of dodgeball was invented in the 15th century,

    by opium-addicted Chinamen.

    But back then, the Chinamen threw severed human heads at each another

    instead of the ADAA-approved balls we use today.

    ADAA?

    That's the American Dodgeball Association of America.
