The League of ordinary Gingermen

Enemies

Welcome all.
Today we are taking a look at one of our enemies.

Two of the league were recently at a party. It wasn't until after quite a few beers, that we realized, that we were the only gingers there. That didn't scare us too much. That is a usual situation for us, and a true gingerman shouldn't fret in the face of adversity. He should seek to enlighten instead of hide. We took this holy task to heart and mingled. All was well, until we found out, that these people all knew each other from a sports school.

Now we were scared. We were behind enemy lines. The fact that we were the only gingers was ok, but jocks? Nay, nay, nay. We are gingermen, not miracle workers! It was like we were two Apple representatives caught in a barn full of Amish - coexistence was not an option. We ducked out and made it home safely.

But we were lucky. We had been lured into the lair of our enemy by the promise of alcohol and easy women - a treat for any gingerman. We had been foolish to walk right into that trap. We should have seen the tell-tale signs. Here are a couple of signs, that will show a jock at a party:

1. The jock dances without being very inebriated. This is because of the physical prowess it has in other athletic disciplines.
2. The jock does not smoke.
3. The jock does not respond to ginger humor. He is not aware of internet jokes, great quotes or Conan O'Brien. He probably also refers to South Park as "that lame cartoon with kids in it".
4. The jock talks to wome.
5. The jock does not shake your hand - he estimates your hand strength.

There are other signs, but these will serve you for now. Please be on the look out.
