[steph74]

obviously I know nothing about baseball so I confess that I don't get what is so funny about that joke....

It is a play on words. The bases are really bags. Only home "plate" is a solid rubber trapezoid. Need I say that Jack Daniels comes in fifths. And old ladies used to be called old bags.

Is baseball played in Utah???:cool:

[steph74]

no i m sure they play baseball in Utah.. probably using pitch forks as bats and snowballas as balls but one thing is sure, it is not very popular in France ;)

Yeah in France it would be a bottle of cognac.

Cognac is good but not THAT good ;)
