Soccer star Romario is about to score his 1,000th goal! Now these goals may not have been in "official" matches, but who cares! He is counting "unofficial" goals, that even include youth soccer games.
"These numbers are not mine, I never had the time to count them myself. The counting was done by professionals. If I'd counted them myself, there would be around 3,000."
Awesome! He knew how good he would be back in the day, and hired professional goal counters when he was a kid. Such amazing foresight. And either he can't count (1,000 isn't exactly the sames as 3,000) or he would be counting goals scored in practice, too.
More importantly, we should use this logic in all sports, as well as other aspects of life. When someone asks you how much money you made last year, say "I am almost at $1 billion!" (You don't need to mention that most of that is Monopoly money). Barry Bonds might hit 400 home runs this year (363 would be in batting practice though). You could say you can bench 2,000 pounds (not in one rep). This Romario guy is a freakin genius!
