There is a little league day at the Orioles game coming up in a few weeks, and the money has to be in for it soon if you want to go, so after my kid’s game last night I figured I’d pay up just so I wouldn’t have to worry about it anymore. It proved to be still yet another example of either how I should just never say a word out loud about anything to anyone or how people just don’t get my humor.

I went up to the coach, who was hanging out with a couple moms and a dad, handed over my cash and said, “Here, let me pay for the tickets now before I spend this money on whiskey or crack or something.”

The coach didn’t really hear me. The other dad chuckled nervously. One of the moms I swear gasped, and the other’s mouth dropped open. WTF. Maybe it’s me, but I think these peoples’ reactions were ridiculous. There were no kids around, and it was a funny line! Especially with my impeccably deadpan delivery.

Oh, well. At least I know who not to offer a bump to now.
