Your column on the Clinton quote reminds me of something that happened in sports about 12 years ago. Golfer Ernie Els played one of his first American events at the Kingsmill PGA tournament, a tournament that broadcaster and golfer Curtis Strange informally hosts (he lives there). Strange played an early round with Els, then went to the broadcast booth to do the TV portion of his job.

p>Asked about Els, Strange said, in his broad Virginia accent, “Ah think Ah just played with the next gah.” (“I think I just played with the next guy.”) Somebody heard this as “played with the next god,” and so the quote zipped around the world. Even The Economist printed it as a caption. br> — Lawrence Henry /p>
