Your comment about the bat-boy reminds me of a story thats passed around these parts, Carl.
Apparently there was a young man whose parents had recently been divorced. At the custodial hearing the young man was taken back into the judges chambers to discuss the issue privately.
The young man and the judge settled down in the quite room in small chairs opposite each other. The judge in a diminutive voice asked the young man;
"Son, would you like to live with your mother?"
To this the young man replied, "no, Sir. My mother beats me."
The judge then asked him, "Would you like to live with your father?"
Again the young man ansered in the negative. "No, Sir, my father beats me too."
The wise old judge pondered the predicament for a moment and replied, "Well then, if both of your parents beat you, who would you like to live with."
The young man paused for a moment before answering.
"Well, Sir. If it's alright with you I think I would like to live with the Chicago Cubs baseball team because they don't beat anybody!"
Tim.
