This is so funny to me because it hits home. My wife knows as much about sports as Gladys and is always asking malaprop questions. Most recently during last night’s hockey game: “Haven’t they figured out who wins that cup thing yet?”
Kinda reminds me of an old George Carlin skit: Baseball vs Football…funny as h3ll, and so true. To paraphrase: In baseball, you wear a cap; in football, you wear a helmet.In baseball, you make an error…oopsie! In football, you receive a penalty.In baseball, you there is no time limit, the game could go on forever! In football, it is rigidly timed and it will end even if we have to go with sudden death.In baseball, there’s the 7th inning stretch; in football, there’s the 2 minute warning.Just to list a few.

Sounds like a plan.

That will, indeed, be too late. You’ll both be shadows of your former selves by the time you get to football season.

Sure Gladys, as soon as they drop the puck.

For those not familiar with baseball, the joke is ‘halftime’ should really be called the ‘seventh inning stretch’.
s_krumpe 19 days ago
with Brutus’ luck, it will go 25 innings and last 8 hours, like that one in 1984

Halftime in baseball? That’s quite a stretch!

Gladys has lucked out. Dinner can be hotdogs with crackerjacks for dessert.

Today’s baseball is half-time… I watch the selected plays on Youtube… and sometimes I fall asleep anyway :D

Pause it and go eat. Then you’ll have the option of fast forwarding through the commercials when you return, until you get caught up to the live part.

Gladys, have a seven course meal ready for the seventh inning.
HarryLime Premium Member 19 days ago
It’s on TV … put it on pause or record the game. Brutus ignoring food … that’s a laugh in itself.

Or the 7th inning stretch. We have TV tray stands. Let’s have a semi picnic in the living room.Maybe a blanket on the floor. Un Huh.

You could eat when there’s a break in the action. So, anytime!

If the game’s that important just eat dinner in front of the TV.
Jeffin Premium Member 19 days ago
Plenty of time during the boring parts.

So we finally find a reason why soccer is better than baseball.

When the person who does the cooking says dinner is ready, you eat. Otherwise, you have leftovers out of the fridge.

Psssst, Gladys – try seventh inning stretch.
