A typical "plate conference" (I hope I have the right term
) on "getaway day" on the pro level often goes like this:
Manager: "Let's get this **** over with we got a bus to catch."
Other manager: "Where the **** are you guys going to next?"
Manager: "****in' Lowell."
Other manager: "****, that's a long ****ing bus ride."
Me: "Dick, 25 DHing in the five hole?"
Manager: "Yup. Where the **** are you guys going?"
Other manager: "Back home."
Manager: "That's good."
Other manager: "No, our GM is a ****in' dumb *** and has us playing at 12 tomorrow...on a ****in Monday."
Me: "John, 4 DHing in the seven hole?"
Other manager: "Yup."
Manager: "No ****, John"
Other manager: "Who the **** schedules a business man's special on a ****ing Monday after a ****ing road trip?"
Manager: "No ****, huh."
Me: "Any questions on the ground rules?"
Manager: "No"
Other manager: "No. Same **** as the previous ****in' games, right."
Me: "Yup."
Manager: "Good ****in' luck, John."
Other manager: "Same to you Dick. Have a safe ****in' trip to Lowell. Maybe we'll meet up at the end of the ****in' season."
Me: "Good luck, gentlemen."

Me (to partner): "Where the **** do we go tomorrow?"
Partner: "****in' Watertown."
Me: "No ****?"
