Let's go out to the ball game, let's go out to the Park!
After trying for weeks, two Red Sox fans finally got tickets to a Sox game at Fenway Park. Their seats were right behind home plate . . . great seats! They were thrilled . . . thrilled, that is, until two Roman Catholic nuns in full habit sat down directly in front of them, effectively blocking their view of the field. Trying to figure out a way to
get the nuns to move, one of the fellows said to the other, “Too bad we’re not in Georgia; there are hardly any
Catholics there!” The other fellow
answered, “Better we should be in Alabama!
There are even fewer Catholics there. “
Finally, one of the nuns turned around and quipped, “Actually, you should
go to hell; there are no Catholics there!”

To watch the Red Sox play this year is so painful and humbling, that you'd have to be a nun, to make it a habit. My guess is the Red Sox will occupy last place, in religious terms, the lower depths.
