Baseball, Apple Pie, and 'Doh!'

Just another boner in a long line of boners!

                                                      

 

  Baseball, Apple Pie, and 'Doh!"!

 

     My topic today is saying stupid s**t, or as I like to call it, 'mouthidungness'. It was a bright, sunny day in 1994. The Major League Baseball players were on strike, so my dad and I decided to go see a minor league game. We got to the stadium, took our seats, and were just enjoying being outside on a beautiful day, and watching some baseball.

 

The game got to the late innings, and a series of relief pitchers came in the game. As one of them came in, it reminded me of one of the major leaguers who hadn't been playing so hot, so I turned to my dad, and just started roasting this poor guy. "Let's hope he does better than--(name redacted due to being a puss!) has been lately, that guy sucks!" And I went on and on about what a lump of nothing this guy was. I started to say something else nasty, when the guy sitting right in front of me turned around and gave me a dirty look. Imagine my shock and embarrassment to see it was none other than the very player I'd been ranking on.

 

     I immediately shut up. I figured at this point, it was probably wise. I also shut up because, what are you going to say? "Oh, did I say you? I meant somebody else!" The funny (or not!) thing was, embarrassing someone in public, ANYONE, is the last thing I'd ever want do. If I'd have known, I would have never spoke like that. Thus, tis a cautionary tale of 'keep your mouth zipped, because one never knows, does one?"
