The Winning Run

"Swindled"

A newsboy was standing on the corner
with a stack of papers, yelling, "Read all
about it. Fifty people swindled! Fifty people
swindled!"

Curious, a man walked over, bought a paper,
and checked the front page. Finding nothing,
the man said, "There's nothing in here about
fifty people being swindled."

The newsboy ignored him and went on,
calling out, "Read all about it. Fifty-one
people swindled!"

"The Winning Run"

Coming home from his Little League game,
Billy swung open the front door very excited.
Unable to attend the game, his father
immediately wanted to know what
happened.

"So, how did you do son?" he asked.

"You'll never believe it!" Billy said. "I was
responsible for the winning run!"

"Really? How'd you do that?"

"I dropped the ball."
