France Accidentally Invents New National Sport: 'Surrendering to the Olympics' After Baguette Shortage Causes Gold Medal Panic

The French are so good at surrendering that they made it a medal-winning event at the Paris games, only to be disqualified for ‘refusing to fight the crowd’—which is apparently just queueing for croissants.
