Sports Humour

Ci sono bar e bar ma il Bar Sport è qualcosa di più. Un classico dell'umorismo, Bar Sport ritorna con la sua irresistibile brigata di compagni di ventura, i suoi flipper, il telefono a gettoni e la Luisona, la brioche paleolitica in perenne attesa del suo consumatore. Un catalogo di "eroi", ormai coronati dalla stralunata aureola del mito: la sparapalle e il professore, il tennico e il carabiniere, il ragioniere innamorato e la cassiera dalle grandi poppe, il leggendario calciatore e il lavapiatti che sogna di diventare cameriere.

Somewhere in a "major-league" American city, there lives a man named J. Henry Waugh—no-account accountant, barfly, and country music fan. The most important part of Waugh's life, as far as he is concerned, is lived in his head, where he is sole proprietor of the Universal Baseball Association, which is now entering its fifty-sixth season. The games are played with dice and scorecards, and the players are just numbers and names, but for Waugh they're more real that the dreary office, the dive bar, and the dingy apartment in which he spends his days.

Dopo più di vent'anni il mitico Bar Sport e i suoi magnifici eroi hanno subito le trasformazioni del tempo: la proverbiale pasta Luisona è scomparsa, nel Bar Veramente Fico adesso espongono brioche invisibili a occhio nudo; tra gli avventori nessuno ha più una colorazione naturale, e si possono ammirare le abbronzature color albicocca o vitel tonné maschili piuttosto che i color biscotto dei fard e dei Caraibi femminili; nuovi elementi, tra cui spiccano i tristemente noti cellularisti, abilissimi nel rispondere al trillo nelle situazioni più impervie.
