Swear on the Show

During many of the conversations that go on between teammates, I like to eavesdrop and then make fun of some of the ridiculous things that come out of their mouths. During most conversations either at dinner or and in the locker room, I tend to sit back and just listen and try to understand how they get through everyday life thinking and saying these thoughts.
After listening to a training camp conversation between Paul Bissonette and Luca Caputi recently, I burst out laughing at the ridiculousness of a phrase that they were each tossing back and forth.

Have you ever tried convincing a friend of something, and they did not believe you? Often when this happens, you or your friend might say, "I swear to God." Of course your friend would then believe you, because you would not cross God for the fear of going to hell. Well, with Luca and Paul, this was recently taken to a whole new level. I overheard a conversation that went something like this:

Paul: Obviously that girl wasn't a 10, or there is no way she would have talked to you.
Luca: She was a 10, ask Johnny D, he saw her at the bar.
Paul: I don't believe you.
Luca: I swear on the show.
Paul: You swear on the show?
Luca: Yeah, I swear on the show.
Paul: Okay, I believe you.


Canada is a funny place.

P.S. - I think if the economy can pull the kind of 180 that Paul Bissonnette achieved in the last year, the country would be a much happier place.
