BALL_BOY_PEED

We have an early contender for the feelgood story of the year. Or, at least the “feel relieved” story, anyway.

In other offbeat news from the Open, the match between Belgian Christophe Rochus and American Donald Young was stopped for 40 minutes after a ball boy wet his pants on court 10.

“The ball kid peed on himself. It was unfortunate,” Young said.

“It took a while to replace him. Then they had to put the sawdust down, or whatever you put down when somebody throws up.

“Then they had to use the blower (to dry the court) but the blower had no gas in it, so that took even more time.” –The Age, via Deadspin.

So that photoshop’s probably a bit too subtle for this crowd. I’ll be honest: I’m not a big fan of seeing somebody pee. Unless I’ve had a few drinks and she’s standing right above me.
