Watching Wimbledon and seeing the tennis players, between points, acccept a towel from the attendants, wipe their perspiration while walking to the base line, and dropping the towel without turning around. How many times have we seen Christian do that?

Yea, I've always thought that ball boys and girls, especially the ones who have the thankless task of handling the disgusting, sweaty towels that players use to wipe their faces, arms (and even legs sometimes), get the short end of the straw in the tennis world (although I'm guessing that it's quite competitive at the big tournaments to be one of the ball boys or girls at the final matches). If I were one of those unlucky ones who had to handle the towels, I'd want to wear surgical gloves and some sort of hermetically-sealed body suit before I would take on that task.

Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer becomes a ball boy at the US Open and he collides on the court with Monica Seles and blows her knee out! LOL
