                 WHY SOFTBALL IS BETTER THAN SEX

        Taken off a network; submitted by Marinos Annikos

*  You  can play softball as much or as little as you  want;  YOU
   get to decide.

*  After  an unusually long and difficult softball game  you  can
   still ride your bike home.

*  In softball, the other team pays attention throughout, even if
   they're done scoring.

*  If you have to take a piss during a softball game, you can say
   "Excuse me,  I gotta drain the swamp" and you don't lose style
   points.

*  In softball,  nobody comments on the size of your bat, as long
   as you know what to do with it.

*  In  softball,  you  don't feel guilty about winning  the  ugly
   ones.

*  The  other team never has to forfeit a game cause  they're  on
   their period.

*  In  softball,  you don't have to compliment the other team  on
   good they look in their new uniforms.

*  You don't have to buy the other team dinner to get a game.

*  If you get all scratched up in a softball game,  you can  brag
   about it to your wife.

*  In softball,  if you go a couple months without scoring,  your
   balls don't hurt.

*  In softball,  you can play the same team every day for a  year
   and it's never the same twice.

*  You  don't  mind  if  your parents  come  to  watch  you  play
   softball.

*  You can play three, maybe four softball games a day.

*  In  softball,  it's no concern of yours if the other team  has
   had marital relations with diseased livestock.

*  In  a  good weekend of softball,  you can play  six  or  seven
   different teams and it only costs you twenty bucks and you may
   get a prize at the end.

*  Playing the wrong softball team won't get you shot.

*  You  can  be  absolutely certain that,  nine  months  after  a
   softball game,  the other teams lawyers won't call, asking for
   half of your pre-tax income for the next eighteen years.

*  During a softball game you can spit tobacco juice all over the
   place.

*  Rest  assured that the other team will not invite you  to  the
   ballet.

*  The other team doesn't demand that you shave before the game.

*  The other team can smell like road kill and you'll never  know
   it.

*  If you don't score in a softball game,  the other team doesn't
   ask you if you've had that problem often.

*  No  matter how drunk the other team is they never throw up  in
   your bed.

 Now that was funny, no?
