Insp. by the "Red Sox are going to make me insane" thread (some humor)

[flaps]

I got a laugh out of this when I read it a week or so ago, and maybe some of you will too.

The following was contributed by a Gayla Bieksha of Hubbardston, MA and published in "Life in These United States," Reader's Digest, Aug 2004, p. 233.

Blood may be thicker than water, but baseball beats them both. I learned this after explaining to my two boys that they were half Lithuanian, on their father's side, and half-Yankee, meaning their other set of grandparents came from an old New England family.

My younger son looked worried. "But we're still a hundred percent Red Sox, right, Mom?"

Hi Flaps, I got quite a little giggle out of it! Don't you just love Readers Digest? That's one magazine I have to read when I have the time! Kathy

nuts4 - Hi. I liked reading Reader's Digest as a kid whenever my parents had a subscription, and to this day if I pick up an R.D., I gotta at least read the "All in a Day's Work," "Life in These United States," etc., etc. There were some pretty funny ones in the most recent issue, IMO.

TalkisCheap - I thought so too. You're welcome.

Did any of you happen to hear the few Red Sox fans before the game tonight they spoke with? I loved these two in particular:

"I love the Red Sox, but they obviously hate me"

"They killed my grandfather, then my father and now they are after me"


Diehard fans....also, if you haven't seen "Still We Believe" it is a pretty good DVD, but you gotta be a REAL fan to appreciate it.
