This invokes a joke about a baseball umpire who was infamous for his mean personality and this carried over to his family life such that he mistreated his young son. Eventually he saw the error of his ways and vowed to be nicer and more affectionate. So every night when he came home he would ask his son to come sit on his lap. But the kid refused each time.
So we see…. the son never sits on the brutish umpire.

I missed this. Where’s the “roller” part? He’s not umpiring a bowling game.

One of my European History profs once opined that the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.
