Dad: I'm sorry your basketball game turned out so bad. But did you see the way Mary collapsed in the middle of the floor? It was an Academy Award-winning slow motion fall. Eyes rolled up to the ceiling with a slow spin to the floor. No one touched her!
Daughter: I know. Scoreboard injury. She had to lay there for a while to make it look good.
Dad: Well, at least the other girls on the team who care about playing got playing time.
