John Cleese on baseball
 

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>John Cleese this week announced that the British issued a "revocation ofindependence." In so doing he advised the following about baseball:<br /> <br /> <br />You should stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an eventcalled the 'World Series' for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.15% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. Instead of baseball, you will be allowed to play a girls' game called "rounders," which is baseball without fancy team strip, oversized gloves, collector cards orhotdogs.<br /><br><br>I've just reached Upper Lower Class. I am now officially a babe magnet for poor chicks.

Bad enough I am subjected to idiots rooting for felons, er, Laker fans...
