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?
