The old High-German word for Ghost was Gheist, by the way...

Chris might weigh in on this but GHEIST also means MIND. Depending on your usage Kopf (Mein Kopf is leer) or Verstand (Mein Verstand ist verwirrt)

football pitch

Speaking of English!!! One does not PITCH a football, You PITCH a Baseball. Footballs are THROWN with a spiral motion and KICKED for field goals and/or First downs

Your alarm goes off each morning because it goes on. You fill out a form by filling in the spaces, and you can see the stars when they are out, but when the lights are out, you can't see anything at all. You look up to see things that are above. You plan to move up in the company, you wake up in the morning just before getting up to start your day. If you want to bring up a topic, you must speak up, but not too loud or you may get written up for bad behaviour or is it behavior?
Of course, it's up to the boss to decide if that's necessary, unless you can think up an excuse. If it all goes badly, you can always call up your friends because you've likely worked up an appetite, so you might as well cook up a meal, even if you do mess up the kitchen in the process.
I could go on…but the rest is up to you!

Except in real football where the ball is round.

The history of football goes back to the dark ages when after a good days battle, rape and pillage the guys and gals on the winning side "let their hair down" by kicking heads through burnt out doorways. Naturally no one wanted to handle the head (except with the odd head butt) so touching the ball with your hands was not permitted.

After we became "civilized" (an early form of political correctness) heads were replaced by round balls and door frames with fixed sized goals and the rules were standardized.

Fast forward a couple of thousand years and the boys at an English toffs school where they consistently kicked over instead of into the goal decided to extend the goal posts up and only score if you kicked over the bar. Because carrying the ball was so much easier than accurately kicking it they decided to award three points for carrying the ball anywhere across the end line and to only award one point for kicking the goal. Changing the shape of the ball made carrying it so much easier and easier was what they needed. Thus Rugby was born.

Fast forward even more and in Australia at a toffs school where the students were even more inbred clumsy they could not remember the 3-4-5 rule for square corners, or how to use a measuring device, or whether you should kick the ball under or over the cross bar. They therefore decided to use any field of any size with round ends and took the cross bar off the goal so you got points regardless of whether the ball was high or low. They gave themselves even more points because more points means a bigger score and a big score means they are better. Then because they still kept missing the goal they added two extra posts and gave themselves points for a missed goal. Thus Australian Rules was born. Being as they got tired so easily they divided the game in quarters instead of halves and until a few years ago if the Grand Final was a draw they came back the following week, unlike the other codes where you play an extra half.

Here endith the lesson

Does EVERYONE get a Participation Trophy JUST for showing up and continuing to breathe for the entire game? Oh yea, no scoring 'cause EVERYONE is a WINNER
