So let me get this straight.

Who is on first.

What is on second.

I don't know is on third.

Yesterday is pitching.

Today is Catching.

And I don't give a darn is shortstop.

Sounds like a poem or a metaphor..... who knows what it means....I don't know THIRD BASE!!!!!!!!

I had a similar conversation with my mom when she was on Netflix on Xbox Live.

She asked me "Which button opens the search menu?"

I said "Y."

She said, "Because I want to open the search menu."

"Y."

"Because I want to find a movie."

"Y!"

"Because I want to watch a movie!"

In my Geography class, this guy just randomly asked if we could, so my teacher was like "okaayy" and we watched. And I was laughing so hard, and my friends all like"we don't get this..." And I'm like "let me explain,so who is the guys name that--" and they're like " no we're good, thank you very much. Bye have a good day sey"

It was so funny I considered translating it for my Japanese friends.

Much better than dark comedy, Abbot and Costello have got to funniest duo in American Comedian History.
