Buried in the source code of Jeb Bush's 2016 presidential campaign website is the plot to the Die Hard movie franchise!

With odds like that, I was glad a nearby foul ball didn’t whack me last month at a Salt Lake Bees (Minor League Basebell) game. As for the English 4-seat theater, bet the movie they’re showing at the schedule times get sold out fast; how unfortunate for the fifth person or third couple.

Um…John? I couldn’t find your email, so I’m putting this here. You seem to have a decent sense of humor when it comes to your goofs — especially when they’re just arithmetic goofs, as the last one was…well, so is this one. “1 in 300,000 baseball fans getting hit”? MLB draws 30K per day average; many parks draw more. Multiply that by 14 – 18 games being played on any given day, seven days a week, all summer. If that were the case, we’d have fans being carted off the field, bucket-brigade style.

How in the world do you get tickets into that theatre? Do you have to buy them like YEARS in advance?

Four people in the theatre and you can bet one of them is going to be talking out loud. One of them will be on their cell phone.One of them will be a basketball player who sits in front of the fourth person, little short guy me.
