Exchange Student at Cairo High School dreams of Michael Jordan fame

"Look Mom, I just got a Michael Jordan tattoo on my leg!"

From http://www.timesenterprise.com/articles/...ports/sport.txt:
 
Baldur Olafsson grew up adoring Michael Jordan. He displays his adoration on his right leg, which features a tattoo of Jordan skying toward a basket.
(...) Olafsson, who plays for the Cairo Syrupmakers, hopes his game can match that of the world's greatest player. The native of Iceland has been a foreign exchange student at Cairo High School since August.
(...) Olafsson's interest in basketball was sparked when he was in the fifth grade. Several years passed before the had the famed Jordan logo etched on his leg, however.
(...) "That happened on my 16th birthday," Olafsson said. "It was a birthday present from my mom and dad."
(...)
c:Oh, so it was a present from his parents. That explains it. "We have a lot of American influence in Iceland," he said. Obviously... (Ed. note: Now please will you excuse me, while I get a tattoo of Bjork on my leg.)

Oh, so it was a present from his parents. That explains it. "We have a lot of American influence in Iceland," he said. Obviously... (Ed. note: Now please will you excuse me, while I get a picture of Bjork tattooed on my behind.)
