Well the result of the bet was to be a sort of winner-take-all or, even worse, loser-lose-all since for the winner it was "business as usual, trophy, praise, etc.". And, to make matters even worse, the flames of this"competition" had been fanned to a fever pitch, so much so that not only did the whole school get into the "spirit" but, as I had hinted at above, also both communities manged to dip in up to what seemed to be a bit above the ears (but no problem there, however as there didn't seem to be anything between those ears!).
So the winners would, as you would expect and as was true in this case, take the accolades, but what about the losers? What was the heroic manly sport for each of the teams to do so much better than the other (above and beyond gaining the accolades). Remember, this is track and field where the spindly, the small (but fleet of foot or agile) usually congregated. These aren't the bulky football players nor the muscular baseball nor the tall basketball player. Are you ready for the silliest of sillies? The team, the whole team, that lost were to be designated as official sissies and had to wear dresses as a sign of their "true nature".
