I was digging through some old messages from a Yahoo! Group my rugby club used to use for communication, and I’m finding some pretty hilarious posts. You don’t have to know anything about rugby for these to be funny, although the guys in the club may appreciate them a little more.
For instance, in 2001 we were trying to decide on a catch phrase for some t-shirts we were having printed. There were several options. Some were clever, and some were…not. Here’s a sampling:

How many kegs of beer were tapped to come up with the final design (that any 2 year old moron could have come up with)?
A sufficient number, but oddly, still not enough.
My favorite slogan was one that was banned in Ship.
On the front crest:
“SHIP Rugby,
We may not go down in history”
on the back:
“But we will definitely go down on your little sister”
