Same location
Different call

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 mobile home isn't hyphenated. Try it now:

First pitch strike
Second pitch ball
Same location
Different call

Mobile-home plate
Mobile-home plate


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

One Mechanic, One Interpretation, One Call.

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?

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
