I must be 'old school', but I try to avoid dugouts and bench areas like the plague. Once the pre-game equipment inspection is done, I won't enter a dugout. I never sit on the bench during a game ( I once had to go looking for a partner who was sitting on the bench between innings eating a candy bar). I try to respect the bench/dugout area as a player's area, not mine.

I generally ignore most of the crap that comes from the dugout as well. I have heard equipment being thrown, I saw a gatorade bucket get kicked to pieces (that was funny), and I have heard all sorts of bad language. The issue becomes when that behavior is directed personally to me. If I am taking the time to walk to the bench area to address behavior, someones leaving the game and it's not me.

What you said isn't any different from what I said, actually.

It was shorter, and funnier.

"Have you seen Borat?"

It is a sad place in the world when we gauge sense-of-humor based on the most "unfunny" movie ever made.

I do not remember even smiling one time during the movie.

Of course this is just my opinion.

Regards,

I wasn't judging humor, rather seeing if his tastes matched mine. I am not saying you don't have a sense of humor NOW, I am just saying yours is different.
