Chi non ride interista è! In una nuovissima edizione, le barzellette, gli striscioni, le gaffe più esilaranti sulla compagine rossonera. Il Milan è la squadra di calcio più titolata del mondo. Ma nessuno è perfetto (si sa!), perciò anche lo squadrone rossonero, che spesso vince, può di tanto in tanto perdere. Come sempre, l'importante è saperci ridere sopra. E i milanisti non mancano, per fortuna, di senso dell'umorismo. Dalle "mani nei capelli" di Galliani, a Berlusconi che vorrebbe in squadra "la sorella di Figo", da "Arcore" a "Hardcore"... Barzellette da bar, striscioni fra le tifoserie delle altre squadre, frasi di (anti)milanisti celebri per ridere sulle proprie ossessioni sportive.

Ik ben Nurdius Maximus en als Caesar zich er niet steeds mee bemoeide, zou ik later zeker bekendstaan als een grote held uit de Romeinse geschiedenis. Hij wil namelijk dat ik opschrijf hoe hij de Gallische stammen onder de duim krijgt, maar dan wel op zijn manier. Ik moet hem overdreven heldhaftig afschilderen (en mezelf weglaten), en de Galliërs als rare wilden met stomme kapsels. Eigenlijk is Caesar gewoon jaloers op het lange haar en de grote snor van hun leider, Vercingetorix. Maar inmiddels heb ik belangrijkere dingen aan mijn hoofd, zoals levend thuiskomen...
