Quote of the Day

 

"People ask me

what I do in winter

when there's no baseball.

I'll tell you what I do.

I stare out the window

and wait for spring

Thought for the Week

A reporter was attempting to get a human interest story out of a very, very old man in a government-run home for the aged.

 

"Grandpa," said the young reporter, "how would you feel if you suddenly got a letter telling you that a distant relative had left you ten million dollars?"

 

"Son," said the old man slowly, "I would still be ninety-five years old, wouldn't I?"
