Lighten up Mondays
This week marks the start of the Major League Baseball season so I’m throwing some sporty jokes your way:
On June 26th, 1985, at Jack Russell Stadium in Clearwater, Florida, organist Wilbur Snapp played Three Blind Mice following a call by umpire Keith O’Connor. The umpire was not amused and saw to it that Mr. Snapp was ejected from the game.
Here’s a quote attributed to the late, great Babe Ruth: “It took me seventeen years to get 3,000 hits in baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course.”
One morning in elementary school, the students were in their geography class where the teacher wanted to test the students on their knowledge of U.S. cities and states.
The teacher asked the class, “Does anyone know where Pittsburgh is?” Francis raised his hand and said, “Yeah, Pennysylvania.” The teacher replied, “Very good Francis. Now, can anyone tell me where Detroit is?”
Rachel raised her hand, “That’s in Michigan.” The teacher again replied, “Very good.”
Trying to confuse the children the teacher asked, “Where’s Kansas City?” Ross raised his hand and said, “Oh, oh, pick me. I know!”
The teacher said, “OK, Ross. Where is Kansas City?”
“Last place!”

Not so! says a Kansas City resident. We were in the World Series.in 2014.
(Admittedly, it had been a long time since the Royals’ last appearance.)

These are funny, Irene! I can relate to the Babe Ruth quote about golfing. 😦
