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 grandparents a couple weeks ago. We said "We saw the movie In Bruges last weekend." "What was it called?" "In Bruges." "I know you were in Bruges, but what was the movie called?" "No, we watched it at home." "I thought you went to Bruges." "We did, but we saw the movie this weekend."

No, tomorrow is pitching.

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!"

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.
