Be careful...you just might tempt someone else into a joke. I'll be congenial this time.

I always thought the bear was Catholic and that the Pope sh1ts in the woods... Isn't that how the phrase goes?

Dave,

No. It goes: Does a bear sh... in the woods? and Is the Pope Catholic?

Can't tell if you are being funny.

Hehe...let me guess "OK then, she's out!"

Could be...but oddly enough, PONY league seems to have figured this one out without all the red flag silliness.

I think I verbalize it more than I don't.

Of course, I have been working a very low level rec league the past few weeks and if I verbalized obstruction every time it happened, that's about all that I would be saying out there!

Yes, we got that taken care of. I should have got together with him, told him the rule, and finished with "Fix it!"


I don't really like the red flag either, and not just because I have to remember which pocket in my equipment bag I keep it in.

I think a few years ago, the question became:

"Is the Pope Polish?"
