Transcript:
Goat: I thought you went to the baseball game.
Pearl: I did, but I got kicked out for bringing one of those balls for the crowd to knock around.
Goat: You mean a beach ball? People love beach balls.
Pig: Six people were hospitalized.
Pig wasn’t even wearing proper bowling shoes! I’d blame this tragic turn of events equally on stadium security, but it is Pig who is probably banned for life.Six hospitalized? Well, it’s hard, keeping a 16-pound bowling ball airborne. I imagine a lot of broken fingers….
A nice link between baseball and bowling — strikes. FWIW — the other night at the Dodger game someone had a blow-up dolphin that was being knocked around. Not as much fun as a bowling ball, but noteworthy nonetheless.
It was reported that soccer players who routinely head the ball suffer a measurable 10% loss of intelligence. According to Jay Leno, bowlers who routinely head the ball suffer a measurable 90% loss of intelligence.

Ok, I get that Pig injured the first one, but who throw the ball to the other five?

Pig had the concept. He just failed to quite grasp the execution.

From the comments, it looks like this one was right up everyone’s alley.
Arianne over 9 years ago
I’m surprised he still has it. I would’ve expected a bowling ball confiscation, not a bowling ball return.
