Wait till they play ball … with yours.

Is that how that came up with that song?

Think of it, introducing baseball to aliens!!!!

Cracker Jack

why, that reminds me of a song!

You don’t care if you ever get back? You might when they break out the probes. But then it IS an election year, the probes might be better.

My wife and I saw Cracker Jacks labeled as Cracker Jills. I asked if that’s because they have no nuts? (for the record, they do, just a women in sports thing.)

Two common errors in that line. The correct line is “Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack, I don’t care if I never get back!”

Batter up!!
