Heard this one from Paul Nauert, MLB #96, last weekend...

First pitch strike
Second pitch ball
Same location
Different call

Mobile home plate
Mobile home plate

bought wet myself when I heard it...

wha tha?

Dear
 

Jump:

Was this one of those, "had to be there!" type plays?

Maybe it's in how you tell it. Or some people might not appreciate it unless they hear it sung to the music.

Also, maybe it loses a little if <i>mobile home</i> isn't hyphenated. Try it now:

<b>First pitch strike
Second pitch ball
Same location
Different call

Mobile-home plate
Mobile-home plate</b>

See what I mean? Yes, that makes all the difference.

WOW
 

Thanks grey . . . I now get it!

<b>One Mechanic, One Interpretation, One Call.</b>

I like it. Our association would do well to include that motto on its stationery and other official paraphernalia. Did you come up with that out of the, ahem, "blue," or did something inspire you?

Eine Mechanik, Eine Auslegung, Ein Enscheid!

Nawww. Still isn't funny.

How about this...let's put some music behind it. How about a toothless kid on a porch playing the banjo?

Now...Mobile home has some meaning.

Now that's funny, I don't care what you say, but that's funny.

Glad to have a little laugh the morning after a couple of long cold games.

Thanks
