Those birds must not watch the Spurs bench when he is injured.

which is often

Quieren saber qué pasó con el contrato allá por Julio 2013? No?
No importa… Paso a contarlo igual. Al menos la historia oficial.
Definitivamente un ave no se lo comió ni se lo robó junto a una mochila. No hay ningún quetzalcoatlus en CABA (creo). Sentido común amigos!

Cuenta la historia, que este pasante después de ir a Bahía y hacer firmar el contrato, se quedó un día más en Buenos Aires a pasear.
Pensó (mal) que llevándola con él, la mochila iba a estar más segura que en el hotel y se fue a pasear por ahí.
Nunca supimos dónde fue, pero parece que en una plaza lo cagó un pájaro y cuando se fue a limpiar la cagada a la fuente más cercana (sí! así lo contó!) algún astuto punga le birló la mochila con laptop, pasaporte, celular y, obviamente, contrato adentro.
Definitivamente se la hicieron muy bien.

Tuvo que ir a la embajada para poder regresar a USA con la cabeza gacha y sin “papelito firmado”.

Resumidamente esto fue lo que pasó! Bastante increíble, no? 3 semanas después con el viaje de un asistente del equipo a Argentina se firmó nuevamente el contrato, esta vez sin inconvenientes.

Do you want to know what happened with the contract back in July 2013? No?
Doesn't matter... I'll tell the story anyways. At least the official story.
Definitely a bird didn't eat it or steal it along with a backpack. There's no quetzalcoatlus in Buenos Aires (I think). Common sense, friends!

Story says that this person after going to Bahia and getting the contract signed, stayed an extra day in Buenos Aires to tour around.
He thought (incorrectly) that taking the backpack with him would be a safer option than leaving it at the hotel, and he went to walk around.
We never knew where he went, but apparently while visiting a park, a bird pooped on him, and when he went to the nearest fountain to wash (yeah, that's exactly how he told the story!) some wise guy took the backpack with the laptop, passport, cellphone and, obviously, the contract. They definitely got him good.

He had to go to the US embassy to return to the US, with his head down and without the "signed piece of paper".

In short, this is what happened. Pretty incredible, right? 3 weeks later an assistant with the team traveled to Argentina and a new contract was signed, this time without problems.

Another Manu turnover indeed. Ever heard of a FAX machine?

Someone stole the intern's backpack while the bird attacked him. But who would hate Manu that much?

You mean besides the haters?
